Miele dishwasher repair

Expensive dishwashers are not in great demand in Russia, since their price is not affordable for most Russians. But this technique has advantages - it is extremely reliable. But even this indicator cannot insure it from breakdowns. Repair of Miele dishwashers is carried out in many service centers. But it should be noted that some breakdowns can be dealt with on their own. This will help you with direct hands that can work with the tool, and our detailed instructions.

Dishwasher won't turn on

A fairly common malfunction, and there can be a million reasons for this. Well, at least 3-4 things we will pick up for sure:

• Malfunction of the supply cable - we check the plug and the integrity of the wire, we use a multimeter or an ordinary ohmmeter for this;
• Faulty socket - check for voltage. If it is not there, we disassemble the outlet and inspect it, we also test the wiring for integrity;
• We check the mechanical power button - for this you need to disassemble the dishwasher and get to it. We connect with an ohmmeter, click the button, evaluate its performance;
• We check the integrity of the fuses on the control board - change if necessary.

If all else fails, make sure that power is supplied to the control board.If voltage is present here, and the dishwasher still does not show signs of life, the problem may lie in the board. In this case it must be repaired by a service center (if there is no special equipment and knowledge in the field of electronics).

Dishwasher won't start washing dishes

Repairing Miele dishwashers is a painstaking process, as the technique is notable for its complexity. What should I do if the device suddenly stops working? As a rule, at this moment on the indicators error codes appear. It is they who allow us to diagnose all internal components and identify a breakdown. Many dishwashers have this functionality, and Miele products are no exception.

If you are faced with the fact that the dishwasher refuses to start, you need to figure out what is displayed on the screen. Depending on the code, malfunctions can be very different:

• TEN does not work;
• The pressure switch is out of order;
• There is no water supply;
• Some sensors are not working;
• Drain does not work;
• The machine engine is not working.

The repair here is to identify the faulty node by the code. After that, it will already be possible to figure out whether repairs are possible at home or if you should contact a service center.

Water does not enter the machine

Specialists of service centers that repair Miele dishwashers often encounter a malfunction when water simply does not enter the working chamber.What should be done in this situation? You need to sequentially check the nodes associated with this:

• Checking the inlet hose whether it is pinched by the body of the device?
• We check the presence of water in the water supply - often we suspect the worst, forgetting to check the obvious things. Open the faucet above the sink and make sure that everything is in order with the water supply;
• The coarse filter is clogged - unfortunately, the quality of water supply in our country is lame. Sometimes filters work for years, and sometimes they get clogged in a couple of months;
• We test the tap installed on the inlet hose - maybe it is broken or just closed?
• We test the performance of solenoid valves - they are located inside the Miele dishwasher. Inspection and repair are reduced to monitoring the voltage supplied to the solenoid and replacing the valve itself.

And you can also try to close the door more tightly - sometimes the problems lie precisely in such trifles.

The machine does not drain water

If the Miele dishwasher does not drain the water, check the drain path. To begin with, we check the filter - perhaps it is so clogged that it requires the most common cleaning - that's the whole repair for you. Also, the repair may consist in checking the performance of the pump, which can also become clogged with small food debris. Similarly, we check the patency of the drain hose - it may be pinched or clogged with something.

dishwasher leaking

Miele dishwashers are often endowed with a function of complete protection against leaks. This means that when leaks are detected, the equipment automatically shuts off the water supply. This approach allows you to reliably prevent flooding of your own apartment and neighbors.. Please note that this protection controls the integrity of the inlet hose and the presence of traces of leakage in the sump. As soon as the Miele technology detects even the slightest hint of a leak, it gives a signal to trigger the safety valve.

Because of what, in general, a leak can occur and how in this case will the dishwasher from the Miele brand be repaired? Water may begin to seep from behind the door, in which case it will need to be opened, make sure that there is no contamination on the seal and close again. There may also be gaps in the loose connection of the hose to the water supply - take a wrench and tighten the hose.Use fum tape if necessary. Another option is that the working chamber is leaky and water enters the pan.

Noise in the dishwasher

If the Miele dishwasher starts to make noise, you need to inspect the working chamber - it is quite possible that something happened to the washing rocker arms. An equally common cause of extraneous noise is a pump breakdown - if it starts to rumble, replace it with an equivalent part or inspect the rotating parts.Worst of all, if the engine starts to make noise - it is quite possible that it needs to be replaced.

What else needs to be checked when noise occurs?

• Turbo dryer fan - it can also make noise;
• Oil seals and bearings on the engine and pump;
• Correct installation of the dishwasher by level;
• The position of the dishes - maybe your cups / spoons are rattling?

You also need to pay attention to the fact that pumps (even on Miele) are always noisier than everything else - this is quite normal.

Dishwasher does not heat water

If you find that your faithful assistant washes dishes in cold water, then something has happened to the heating. Also this may be indicated by an error on the indicators. Here we highlight three main failures:

• The heating element has broken - here the repair of the dishwasher lies in replacing the heating element. Check its performance with a multimeter in ohmmeter mode;
• The temperature sensor is out of order - you need to find the same one and replace it;
• The control board has broken - Miele makes reliable equipment, but everything is possible in the life of electronics.

It also does not interfere with checking the integrity of the wires.

Dishwasher won't dry dishes

If there is a turbo dryer in the car, it is quite possible that the breakdown is due to a malfunction of the heater or fan. It is also possible failure of the control triac. Check the triac and heating element, the integrity of the connecting wires. Additionally, check the temperature sensor. If the machines are without a turbo dryer, then the problem is due to a malfunction of the control module. To check the thermostat, fan and heating element, use a multimeter. Everything is more complicated with the board - the dishwasher may need to be repaired at a Miele service center or at a third-party service.

Dishwasher is electric

This is the meanest malfunction, since it is difficult to understand where the short circuit / leakage to the case came from. Not as hard to repair Difficulty diagnosing a Miele dishwasher - if you can identify a water leak by opening a tap, then the presence of voltage on the case will have to be checked on your own skin. However, in some cases a multimeter is enough, but no one canceled full-scale tests. What is a repair?

• We disassemble the Miele dishwasher and check the integrity of the wire insulation;
• We check the heating element - we unscrew and check the resistance between the terminals and the case;
• We check the machine engine and other electrical parts using the same multimeter.

The malfunction is insidious, so you need to be careful and carefully examine each node. If you find an insulation failure or too low resistance between the body of any part and the contacts for connecting it, replace this module - this will be the repair of the dishwasher.

It should be noted that Miele appliances rarely break down. But even the fact that the manufacturer carefully checks each dishwasher is not a sufficient guarantee of the exceptional reliability of the device. Some dishwashers, when used correctly, work for years, and some copies are constantly in need of repair.But with our instructions, you can quickly recognize the cause of the breakdown and repair it yourself.
