The left side of the machine is freezing, but it's pushing all of the frozen product to the top of the lid and overflowing

My Miele 828 dishwasher started to leak at the front left corner. The leak became worse. I tipped the machine on its side and removed the rubber moulding connecting the base of the drum to the pump. I cleaned it out and refitted it finding two small coins inside. The leak persisted. I took off the top of the machine by unscrewing the two screws on either side and pushing the lid backwards. I switched the machine on and, with a torch could see that the detergent dispenser had detached from the delivery pipe under it. Using advice elsewhere on Fixya I undid the three bolts around the door and the three screws around the detergent dispenser; one is deeply recessed and easily missed. Than I unclipped the drain pipe behind the little door at the bottom left hand corner at the front. The front then hinges out from the left with hinges at the right side making the leaking connection easily accessible. Make sure you get the rubber flange well up the plastic tube as there is no flange on the tube to secure it. A possible design fault but the unit has functioned for ten years before the connection failed.

What is the model number of your unit?

Overfilling the unit.There is a max level product line.

top/front of washer seperates by way of hidden clips. insert putty knife or butter knife between front seam of cabanet and top. about 2 inches from left side and 2 inches from right side push in and pull up on top. lid switch is located under top/front

Disconnect the machine from power source then insert a plastic putty knife or similar tool in line with the lid seam and push in to release catches on the left and right side. The top cover can then be hinged up.


Once the top cover is raised, remove each of the 1/4" hex-head screw attaching each lid lock to the top cover.


Release the lid locks from the lid then reinstall them back into the top cover. Take the opportunity to visually check the lid locks and the harnesses for any obvious sign of degradation such corrosion and broken wires.

When the ice maker calls for water it pours for about 7 seconds if more will overflow and the problem is in the ice maker board but if pours water for nomore than 7 seconds and still overflow it means that was extra water in the ice maker ,that means that the dual water valve(located in the bottom back of the refrigerator) is leaking and needs to be replaced.

You don't have to remove the washer top. Use a putty knife to push the tabs in on the left and right side, about two inches from the sides, at the top seam of the front panel. Front panel pulls forward and lifts off bottom pegs. Lid switch has a tab you need to push toward the center of the switch (its on the back side of the switch) which will allow the switch to push up. twist the switch and pass it back down through the washer top.

ck lid switch earlier modes had switch on right of lid opening later it was moved to left rear hinge area ..those on right just replace those on left first ck hinge screws on left be sure they are secure listen for click when closing lid..no click raise lid push on hinge arm on left side toward rear of washer slightly try again still nothing remove console screws on rear of console lift and roll console back ck switch on left side may be broken if so replace

older machine would have been easier to fix ..remove front ck small hose to tub left side remove hose and clean crud from end as much as possible if still overflowing replace water level control..new machine may be timer or lid switch not closing properly remove front to acess lid switch on right side

ck lid switch on new models left rear under top also might try tightening hinge screws left side may even need to adjust lid hinge left side underneath top push back on lower portion slightly this will help it to engage switch better
