Miele G575 Dishwasher

Hi,

The dispenser flap on my Miele G575 dishwasher not infrequently fails to open at the correct part of the wash cycle. As a result the powerball detergent is not released and the wash needs to be repeated. Apart from that the unit works perfectly. Would a new dispenser solve the problem?

- Dear all

Thank you for the tips. Below is the definitive solution!

We eventually had to have the Miele Service man out. The problem was not with the door at all, but was caused by blockage of the water ducts in the rotor. This resulted in eratic spinning and, apparently this effects the door opening. Don't ask me how!! Anyhow, he cleaned the rotor and, behold - problem solved. That was several weeks ago!

Same Problem

-   We have the same problem. Half the time the flap doesn't open and we have to re-run the load. The dishwasher has also gotten much noisier since the first few quiet months of operation. We're very disappointed in the product and the poor service we've received in trying to fix the problem. A repairman replaced the pump and motor but to no avail.-   DisgustedInd

-   I have a Miele G892 and I noticed for the first time that the soap dispenser never opened. Any ideas?-   janettel

Watch also for how you load the upper rack. The flap opens inward and the rack has an opening to permit full opening. If this is blocked by your dishes, the flap won't open properly.

It could be jammed with old and hardened dishwasher detergent which dries like cement, preventing the little door from opening up. Clean the soap dispenser area with warm water and a toothbrush, especially underneath the area where the cover springs open.

It is caused by not enough water being allowed in by the 'flood protector'. You know, that weird lump on the inlet hose at the tap.
Mine has been slowly getting worse and worse. Seems it needs good water pressure to open the flap and it can't achieve it unless the correct amount of water is in the washer.
Currently I just chuck a couple of pans of water in at the start and again at 32 minutes for the rinse.
