Miele Dishwashers (G-Series)

The yellow Child Safety Lock key, which comes hung on the upper basket, was not removed before operating the dishwasher. There is a risk that this key could become dislodged and get stuck in the circulation pump, causing damage.

If your dishes and glassware appear cloudy or have a smeared finish after a wash, the rinse aid dosage might be set too high.

After a wash cycle, dishware and glassware show signs of clouding or smearing. This usually means that the rinse aid dosage is set too high.

Clouding or smearing appears on dishware and glassware after a wash cycle, indicating the rinse aid dosage may be too high.

The dishwasher's intake hose has been cut or damaged, which will prevent the appliance from operating correctly and will cause a water leak. This can lead to injury and property damage.

After a program has finished, detergent residue is still visible and left in the dispenser compartment. This can happen if the dispenser was not completely dry when detergent was added.

The cover of the detergent dispenser cannot be closed properly or latched. This issue typically arises when something is obstructing the latch mechanism.

If the detergent dispenser cover cannot be closed, it means that detergent residue is physically blocking the latch mechanism.

If the indicator lights and time display are dark, the dishwasher has likely switched off automatically to save energy. This is a normal function, not a fault.

When connecting the dishwasher's drain hose to a garbage disposal, the knockout plug was not removed from the disposal's connection nipple. This will block drainage and prevent the dishwasher from emptying water.

When the dishwasher door is opened halfway and released, it closes by itself. This indicates that the tension on the door springs is too tight.

When the dishwasher door is opened halfway and released, it falls downwards instead of staying in position. This indicates that the tension on the door springs is too loose.

The dishwasher's drain hose has been shortened or connected to a hose that is not a genuine Miele part. Non-genuine hoses may not withstand the hot water, potentially melting or collapsing, leading to leaks or drainage issues.

The electrical supply from your household does not match the voltage and frequency specifications listed on the dishwasher's data plate. This mismatch can lead to injury or machine damage.

The Intake/Drain indicator flashes and fault code F10 or F11 appears in the display, indicating a problem with the water intake.

The Intake/Drain indicator flashes and fault code F12 shows in the display, signaling a problem with water drainage. There might be water remaining in the wash cabinet.

An extension cord is being used to connect the dishwasher to the electrical supply. This is unsafe as extension cords may not guarantee the required safety and can lead to overheating.

When the dishwasher stops during a program and displays F10 or F11, it indicates a problem with the water intake. The Intake/Drain indicator will also flash.

When fault F51 is displayed, it indicates a problem with the circulation pump, which is responsible for moving water during the wash cycle.

If fault F63 appears, the drain pump is running even when the dishwasher door is open. This indicates that the WaterProof System has been activated, likely due to a leak.

If both the Intake/Drain and Rinse Aid indicator lights are flashing simultaneously and F67 appears in the display, it suggests a general technical fault within the dishwasher.

The warning buzzer is sounding, and all program indicator lights flash when the door is opened, with fault code F79 appearing in the time display. This indicates a general technical fault within the dishwasher.

Fault code F84 appears in the time display, and the drain pump is still running, even with the door open. This indicates that the Miele WaterProof System has reacted, likely due to a detected water leak.

Fault code F85 appears in the time display, indicating that a fault has occurred in the dishwasher's circulation pump.

Fault F51 appears in the display, indicating that the drain pump is still running even when the dishwasher door is open. This means the WaterProof System has been activated, likely due to a leak or overfill.

The triple filter system in the base of the dishwasher's wash cabinet is not securely locked. An unlocked filter system can lead to poor wash performance, drainage issues, or potential damage from debris.

The dishwasher's power cord or plug is being crimped or crushed due to insufficient space behind the unit or in the cabinet opening. This can cause the cord to overheat, creating a significant fire hazard.

The water pressure supplied to the dishwasher exceeds the recommended maximum of 145 psi (10 bar). High water pressure can cause damage to the appliance.

The indicator lights and the time display on the control panel are dark. This typically happens when the dishwasher has automatically switched off to save energy.

The dishwasher's intake hose is excessively long and not properly coiled, potentially leading to kinks or poor water flow. A kinked hose can prevent the dishwasher from filling correctly.

The dishwasher's "Intake/Drain" or "Intake" indicator is flashing, suggesting that the incoming water pressure is too low for proper operation. This can affect wash performance.

Both the Intake/Drain and Rinse Aid indicator lights are flashing simultaneously, and fault number F70 appears in the display, which suggests a general technical fault with the dishwasher.

The Intake/Drain indicator flashes when the dishwasher detects an issue with the water supply. This can happen if the water tap is not fully open or if there's an issue with water intake.

The dishwasher stopped working shortly after the program started. The warning buzzer is sounding and the Intake/Drain indicator light is flashing on and off. This indicates that the water supply to the dishwasher is interrupted.

The dishwasher's power plug has been modified, or the grounding conductor is improperly connected, leading to a risk of electric shock. The plug must fit the outlet without modification to ensure proper safety grounding.

The dishwasher was turned on or attempted to operate before the control panel was fully installed. Operating the appliance in this state is not advised and may lead to functional issues or damage.

The dishwasher is not properly connected to an effective grounding system, which is essential for electrical safety. Lack of proper grounding can pose a risk of electric shock and the manufacturer is not responsible for damages.

The custom door panel installed on the dishwasher exceeds the maximum weight limit. This causes the door springs to distort, leading to the door falling open rather than staying in position.

After running the dishwasher's "Rinse & Hold" program, the appliance is exhibiting leaks, unusual noises, or flashing/lit fault indicators on the control panel. These symptoms suggest a problem with installation or the unit itself.

At the end of the program, a buzzer may sound and '0.00' appears in the time display, but the program indicator light is still flashing. This means the wash program has not yet fully completed.

The warning buzzer is sounding, and the indicator light of the selected program and the time display flash. The dishwasher does not start or the delay start time stops running. This indicates the dishwasher's safe mode has been activated.

When the Rinse Aid indicator lights up, it means the rinse aid reservoir has enough rinse aid for only 2-3 more programs. It's time to refill.

During the installation process, the dishwasher may have sharp edges that could cause personal injury. Exercise caution when handling the unit.

The dishwasher was secured using side mounting holes in an opening that is wider than specified. This improper installation can cause structural damage to the machine and potentially lead to water leaks.

After a wash cycle, spots are visible on your dishware and glassware. This often indicates that the rinse aid dosage is set too low for optimal drying and spot prevention.

Spots appear on dishware and glassware after a wash cycle, indicating the rinse aid dosage may be too low.

When the dishwasher door is opened, the custom door panel or the door itself makes contact with the toekick. This interference prevents the door from opening fully and can cause damage to both the door and the toekick.

The dishwasher's toekick was extended during installation and now cannot be pushed back into its original position. This is due to the tension on the spring clips holding it in place.

The dishwasher appears damaged from shipping. Installing or using a damaged unit can be unsafe and may void the warranty.

Installation, maintenance, or repair work was performed by someone not authorized by Miele. This can create safety hazards and may void the product's warranty.

A sequence of four audible tones will sound at intervals with a short pause between each set. This indicates a general fault has occurred in the dishwasher. This warning buzzer cannot be deactivated.

Water is siphoning out of the dishwasher during the wash program. This occurs because the drain hose is connected to a floor drain or a drain pipe less than 8 inches (20 cm) above the floor, and the drain system is not properly vented.

After a program has finished, water is still visible and remains in the wash cabinet of the dishwasher. This indicates an issue with the dishwasher's drainage system.

If water is still present in the wash cabinet after a program has finished, there is a problem with the dishwasher's drainage system.

The inside of the dishwasher door and/or the interior walls are wet after a program has finished. This is a common occurrence and does not indicate a fault.

The dishwasher's electrical wiring or other electrical components are in direct contact with plumbing fixtures or hoses. This can pose a safety hazard and potentially cause damage.
