Hi

Some leaking around-under-from the door on dishwashers can be traced back to a split in the spray arm. If the lower spray arm develops a split in it, the spray arm can turn too fast, and shoot water directly at things that it is not suppose to spray water at....sprays water at the door vents or edges and can create water leaks.
You should remove power and check the spring and plastic tab under the timer, often the plastic tab breaks and the soap door will not stay closed. You can try to install a small screw where the tab use to be to re-hook the spring. If that is ok, you will have to check the rest of the dispenser arms, door cover and handle. The spring on the round dispenser should look like this. #1 hooks on a groove cut into the dispenser arm, #2 hooks onto a tab built onto the inner door panel.

Please do accept the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

Water is left in the bottom of the dishwasher after completing a cycle

When you find water left in the bottom of the dishwasher... most of the times there is an "Intake/Drain" flashing, or some other type of fault indication. The dishwasher has faulted out, in the middle of a selected program. The dishwasher won't even bother to drain the water out. If it's not a drain fault, then you can drain the water out by: switching the dishwasher off and on again; selecting a program; and closing the door. Open the door after 15 seconds and see if the water has drained out. If it didn't drain, there is a drain problem. If it did drain, then it can be several things. To better determine the problem, you will have to pay close attention to when the dishwasher faults out.

Water standing in tub

If there is a lot of water sitting inside the applicance, it's possible that the high water float switch has been activated and is preventing the dishwasher from running. Open the door, remove the bottom rack, dip as much water out of the bottom as possible with a shallow ladle or even tupperware container. When that is accomplished, shut the door and try to run a drain cycle. If the unit won't start, you may have to remove more water. You don't have to have the rack in place to run the drain cycle.

2 year old miele dishwasher runs without being turned on.

hi,
A F70 fault is the float switch in the base of the unit which is activated due to water in the base. you may have used too much detergent or the wrong detergent causing the unit to over sud or you have a genuine water leak. the continous running noise is the drain pump trying to remove any water.
you need to remove the bottom panel, turn the power off and dry up the water with a towel. then run it again and see if you can see a leak.
hope this helps
