More then likely there is nothing wrong with the water seal but simply the tank was not placed properly over the seal and water was bypassed to the reservoir. If a significant amount of water sits in the reservoir the "Water System Fault" trouble will appear and stop operation. The easiest way to remove the water from the reservoir is with an inexpensive ($5) siphon tool available at any auto parts store. Once the water has been removed and you can operate the machine and it goes through the "Warming" sequence you will receive a "Air in water System" alert. Follow the simple directions in the manual to correct this trouble and your system is back to normal. I have heard people have been charged by technicians up to $600 to fix this trouble and told the seal had to be replaced. Just take care when placing a full water tank back into place and enjoy : )
If your Miele CVA 615 shows the "water system fault" sign, just grab a shop-vac or any kind of vacuuming device that can vacuum up water, put a flashlight inside the system so you can see, and vacuum up the water from inside the reservoir. I just did this with mine and it's back to working normally now, and I didn't need to call and pay for a repair person!
Hi I,am not 100% familiar with this model but most likely a leak. Remove water tank the should be a hole visible place finger in hole and check for water. If so remove water with syringe. Leak most likely cause by water tank faulty either incorrectly fitted or faulty seal. If water tank OK, drain water, remove lid and run you should be able to see any leaks. If not look for white stains on components.
