Hi I have a Miele dish washer, that flashes red light next intake/drain and stops working. I do not have the manual. Could you please assist me with it? Thank you.

Hi

First check if the drain hose is not clogged and try to clean it as it can be that the hose is clogged and the water is not draining properly. After that check if the drain pump filter is fine and not clogged, try to clean that as well. After this check the metal filter, impeller cover and the air gap unit. After checking this you can reset the error as follows: turn the rotary selector switch to "Stop/End" or press the "Start/Stop" switch for approx. 5 secs. Then switch the appliance off and then back on again. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Does it fault out in the beginning, middle or end?

If its been sitting a while, like 2 months or more, the circulation pump is locked up, need to call Miele, and they will send you a special tool to unbind the motor, its called a hook tool, they will send it to you free... works on the same principal as a garbage disposal tool....

check float /i.e drain hose/ must be in as built positions

well as I cant be specific as ive never heard of this model even, but I know washers in general pretty well , I can say if you have a digital display that tells cycle time (again un usual) and it stops timing , this seems a pretty sure thing you have an electronics problem , most likely in the circuit boards themselves , but if your not sure of what does what , it might be a little less expensive to enlist someone that does b4 just shotgun replacing boards because they can get expensive !!

I had a flashing red Intake/Drain light. After calling Miele tech support, he confirmed that the drain was plugged so I took all drain hoses apart and finally discovered that the problem was a plugged air gap. I replaced it and the problem was solved.

When this happens with my dishwasher it usually means that the drain is clogged with food/debris.  To fix 1) remove bottom dish rack from machine 2) using a small cup, scoop out as much water as possible 3) remove inlet drain cover and unsnap the plastic insert and remove 4) rinse the plastic part and reinstall 5) start machine 6) if light still flashes, repeat steps 3 4 and 5 and restart

It could be that the drain pump or the non-return valve is clogged. Refer to the manual about how to check the non-return valve. It is under the "Maintanence" section. Here is a link to it:

I have (had) the exact same problem with my Miele. Here is what (appears) to have fixed it:

1) Disconnect the inflow line at the water source. Its the connection that looks like a garden hose. Use a screw driver to remove the washer inside, the pull out the little filter with needle nose pliers. My was clogger with particles from the washer. Clean with soap and a tooth brush.

2) Disconnect the outflow line at the garbage disposal. My was moderately clogged with food (Note: my son overfilled the garbage disposal before running. It may have backed up).

This worked for now at least. Remeber, as irritating as red lights can be, it prevents the motors and pumps from burning out when you have clogged plumbing.
