Display dark

Indicator lights and time display are dark — Dishwasher switched off automatically

Miele · Dishwashers (G-Series)

What does Display dark mean?

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.

Common Causes

  • Dishwasher's 'Optimize Standby' function has activated to save energy.
  • No buttons have been pressed for a few minutes after the last action or program end.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Turn the dishwasher on again using the On/Off button.

  2. 2

    To prevent this, you can deactivate 'Optimize Standby' in the options menu (see 'Options - Optimize Standby' in the manual).

  3. 3

    Pressing any button will also reactivate the display for a few minutes if 'Optimize Standby' is active.
