Indicator lights and time display dark

Indicator lights and time display dark — Dishwasher switched off automatically

Miele · Dishwashers (G-Series)

What does Indicator lights and time display dark mean?

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.

Common Causes

  • The 'Optimize Standby' function is activated, causing the dishwasher to power down after a period of inactivity to save energy.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Press the On/Off button to turn the dishwasher on again.

  2. 2

    If 'Optimize Standby' is activated, the display will go out after a few minutes, leaving just the Start/Stop indicator light flashing slowly. Press any button to switch the display back on again.

  3. 3

    If desired, 'Optimize Standby' can be deactivated in the settings to increase the automatic switch-off duration to 6 hours (this increases energy consumption).
