Water is not being pumped away (G1xxx–G6xxx)

The dishwasher does not pump the water away after the wash cycle. The water remains in the wash cabinet (G1xxx–G6xxx).

The filter combination is clogged.

Coarse soiling must not enter the circulation system.

Clean the filter combination as follows:

  • Switch the dishwasher off.

  • Turn the handle anti-clockwise to release the filter combination.

  • Remove the filter combination.

  • Remove and dispose of any coarse soiling.

  • Rinse the filter under running water.

Clean the inside of the filter as follows:

  • When you are fitting the filter combination, take care that it is secured in position correctly.

  • Press the recessed grips together in the direction of the arrows (1). Keep the recessed grips held and open the filter flap (2).

  • Rinse all the parts under running water.

  • Then close the flap on the inside of the filter so that the catch fully engages.

  • Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

  • Turn the handle of the filter combination clockwise until both arrows point towards each other.

The non-return valve is incorrectly positioned in the dishwasher.

Remove the non-return valve. Proceed as follows:

  • Press the catch on the non-return valve inwards (1).

  • Tip the non-return valve inwards to release the cover (2).

Ensure that the catch on the cover engages completely.

Replace the non-return valve by placing it down vertically from above.

Make sure that the non-return valve is flush with the edge.

The drain pump is blocked by foreign objects.

Clean the drain pump. Proceed as follows:

  1. Risk of injury from glass splinters.

    It is especially difficult to see glass splinters in the drain pump.

    Take care when cleaning the drain pump.

  2. Switch off the dishwasher and unplug the plug.

  3. Remove the filter combination from the wash cabinet.

  4. Scoop the water out of the wash cabinet using a small container.

  5. Clean the drain pump. Proceed as follows:

    • Press a small sponge through the drain pump impeller.

    • Carefully remove all foreign objects from the drain pump.

    • Check the drain pump impeller by manually turning it.

  6. Ensure that the catch on the non-return valve engages completely.

  7. Replace the non-return valve by placing it down vertically from above.

    • Make sure that the non-return valve is flush with the edge.

  8. Refit the filter combination correctly.

    • Ensure that the filter combination lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.

  9. Start the wash programme again.

  10. Check whether the water has been pumped away.

The drain hose is kinked.

If the drain hose is damaged, it must be replaced. If this is necessary, contact the Miele Customer Service Department.

Remove any kinks or loops from the drain hose.

Keep an eye on any points where kinks were present for a while afterwards, as the plastic may tear here.

The drain hose or the on-site drain is blocked. Frequent use can result in deposits in the drain hose.

Check the hose for blockages and try to remove them.

Additionally, clean the on-site drain and the siphon.
