Miele Dishwasher Problems And Troubleshooting

Miele dishwashers combine technological innovation with optimum convenience and perfect design harmony. Freestanding options have 3D cutlery trays, delay starts, and countdown indicators. Fully integrated alternatives offer ComfortClose features, height-adjustable baskets, and can give you savings of up to 50% on electricity with hot water connections.

But when things go wrong it’s handy to know where to look for the source of the fault – even if you can’t fix it yourself. See a range of Miele dishwasher problems and troubleshooting here…

Miele Technical Problems

Miele dishwasher troubleshooting can cover:

Miele dishwasher not draining – this can be due to a defective drain pump which may get blocked and prevent proper drainage. This can lead to water remaining in the base of the dishwasher. Getting rid of this standing water and repairing the drain pump are just two skills of a repair technician.

No indicator lights – this problem may be related to the power source or a defective fuse causing the circuit breaker to trip. A qualified appliance repairer will safely be able to check all electrical associated issues and make the appropriate reparations.

Dishwasher stops during a programme – the possible causes here are the stopcock not being opened fully, a restricted water intake where the water inlet filter is blocked, or a restricted water outlet resulting in water staying in the wash cabinet at the end of the programme. The drain pump and drain hoses will need to be inspected and repaired as necessary.

Miele troubleshooting also accounts for:

Dishwasher not filling – this could be an issue with the door switch or latch causing the appliance to detect a potential risk. This problem may also occur when the water inlet valve is defective, or contains sediment and needs cleaning.

A noisy dishwasher making thumping sounds could be a wash arm colliding with items extending beyond the racks. Hissing, humming, and snapping noises are all related to specific programme features, but if your appliance isn’t installed properly the noise level can be affected.

Display Messages

Miele dishwasher fault codes range from F12 indicating an inlet fault to F607 pointing to an obstructed lower arm spray. See more error codes below:

  • Error code F52 shows that the sensor has detected excess foam suds in the cabinet and will automatically interrupt the programme.
  • F70 denotes that the waterproof system has been activated and you’ll need to switch off the appliance and contact your appliance repair specialists.
  • Miele dishwasher fault F78 warns that the circulation pump is blocked, or a fault has occurred in the circulation pump. If this error message comes up repeatedly the circulation pump may need to be repaired or replaced.

Error codes will differ dependant on your appliance model so it’s advisable to check your user manual for a full range of codes and meanings.

Display Symbols

Three horizontal bars displayed at the end of the programme in the time display points to a technical issue that will require expert assistance. If the Miele display symbols are in a different language this is due to an incorrect language setting and this programmable function may need to be modified. A blank display with button sounds heard specifies a problem or fault in the software.

Some Miele dishwashers will display light indicator faults with flashing or blinking lights. For a comprehensive guide refer to your manufacturer’s manual.
