Miele dishwashers,
specifically.

Miele dishwashers come with a built-in water softener, a leak protection system that stays on guard while the machine is off and, on many current models, automatic detergent dosing. The display reports most problems in words, such as Drain or Intake, which gives a technician a clear starting point before the machine is even opened.

The Miele lineup

What is particular
to Miele.

Features vary by model: AutoDos, the 3D MultiFlex cutlery tray and interior lighting appear on some machines and not others. The model number on the door edge tells the technician which of these systems to expect.

Waterproof works even when switched off

Miele's Waterproof system guards against leaks as long as the machine stays plugged in, even when it is turned off. When the display says Waterproof, the system has reacted, and the manual's instruction is to turn off the water and have it looked at.

AutoDos and the PowerDisk

Models with AutoDos dose powder detergent automatically from a PowerDisk cartridge. Dirty dishes can mean an empty or badly seated PowerDisk, or a blocked AutoDos outlet, rather than a wash problem, and F601 is the message for an AutoDos problem.

A filter at the water intake

Besides the filters in the tub, Miele puts a small filter at the water intake. The Intake message often traces to a partly closed shut-off valve or a clogged intake filter before it traces to the inlet valve.

AutoOpen drying

In some programs the door opens slightly at the end to let the load dry. A door that pops open by itself is a setting that can be turned off, and the locking rail has to retract fully before the door is closed again.

Parts

Miele commits to supplying functional spare parts for at least 10 and up to 15 years after a model is discontinued, which keeps repair realistic on older machines. Parts are ordered by model and serial number.

Repair or replace

Usually repair. A long parts commitment and a design built for many years of use mean most pump, valve and sensor problems are worth fixing, even on a machine that has been in the kitchen for a decade.

Questions about
Miele dishwashers.

My Miele display says Waterproof. What should I do?
Turn the dishwasher off and close the water supply. The message means the leak protection system has reacted, and Miele's own instruction is to have the machine looked at before it runs again.
My Miele says Drain and there is water in the tub. Is the pump dead?
Often not. Clean the filter combination and check the drain pump under its cover for a stuck object, then make sure the drain hose has no kink or loop. If the message returns after that, the pump or its non-return valve is worth a visit.
Why does my Miele show F601?
F601 points at the AutoDos system. Turn the machine off and on, check that the PowerDisk and its holder are seated correctly, and run the program again. If it repeats, you can keep using the dishwasher with detergent added by hand until the AutoDos is looked at.
Is it worth repairing an older Miele?
In most cases, yes. Miele commits to supplying functional spare parts for 10 to 15 years after a model is discontinued, so parts for an older machine are usually still obtainable.
