Problem
Possible cause
Remedy
A whistling noise is
heard during the pro-
gramme
The axial face seal of the
circulation pump
sometimes makes a
whistling noise. This may
be caused by detergent.
This is not a problem. Try
out other detergents.
Consult the Miele Service
Department if the noise is
permanent.
Knocking noise in the
water pipes
This may be caused by
the on-site installation or
the cross-section of the
piping.
This has no influence on
dishwasher function. If in
doubt contact a suitably
qualified plumber.
Dishes and glasses are
not dry or are flecked
The rinse-aid amount set
may be insufficient, or the
rinse-aid reservoir empty.
Increase the dosage or
replenish the reservoir,
see “Before using for the
first time”.
The water hardness level
selector in the wash
cabinet is set too high.
Set the selector to a
lower setting, see
“Programming and
setting the water
hardness level”.
Crockery was taken out
of the cabinet too soon.
Leave it in for longer, see
“Operating the
dishwasher”
The dishes are not clean
The dishes were not
loaded correctly. Dishes
were placed inside other
pieces, water could not
access all surfaces.
See notes in “Loading the
dishwasher”.
The outlet of the water
intake pipe for the middle
spray arm was covered.
An insufficient amount of
water flowed into the
middle spray arm.
Make sure that dishes
inserted in the rear
section of the upper
basket do not cover the
pipe outlet.
