Water not pumped away (G 1xxx–G 6xxx)

The dishwasher does not pump the water away after the rinse. The water remains in the wash cabinet (G 1xxx–G 6xxx).

The filter combination is dirty.

Coarse particles must not enter the circulation system.

Clean the filter combination as follows:

  • Turn off the dishwasher.

  • Turn the handle counterclockwise to release the filter combination.

  • Remove the filter combination.

  • Remove and dispose of any coarse particles.

  • Rinse the filter under running water.

Clean the inside of the filter as follows:

  • The filter combination must be carefully inserted and locked.

  • 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.

  • Reinstall 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 toward 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 inward (1).

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

Ensure that the catch on the cover fully engages.

Reinstall 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 a foreign object.

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 electrical 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 any 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. Reinstall the non-return valve by placing it down vertically from above.

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

  8. Reinstall the filter combination correctly.

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

  9. Start the wash program 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. Contact Miele Service about this.

Remove any kinks or loops from the drain hose.

Monitor any points where kinks were present for a while afterwards, as the plastic may tear.

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.
