Not certain what the problem is. When I turn the dishwasher on it automatically seems to start on the pump cycle without me having selected a program. As it continues (and doesn't stop at all unless I swith the dishwasher off) the inlet/drain lights up and alternates between staying lit and then flashing. I have cleaned out all filters, checked stopcock, pipes, but no luck. Could it be an electrical problem needing and expert? I need my dishwasher working for sanity, help!!! Frazzled mum of five
I had same problem after the machine had blocked and filled with water. We drained out the water from the inside but only the pump would work. After reading the solution from crytech I tilted the machine untill all water had come out from the bottom and re started and problem is now solved. Try draing all water from bottom.
regards geof
Hi Frazzledmum, Miele have a safety float switch in the bottom of the machine. (The float is a polystyrene disc). If the machine leaks for any reason, then the water sits in the bottom tray raises the float switch & all your dishwasher will do is activate the drain pump and flash those red lights at you. The reason is that somewhere under the machine there is a leak that needs to be investigated & repaired so in this instance I'm affraid that you will have to call a serviceman. Kind regards

Same problem here, with a Miele G590. The drain pipe from the kitchen sink became blocked and the dishwasher, connected to the same pipe, was unable to drain in the normal way so it emptied all over the floor. After clearing the pipe blockage the dishwasher pump worked but no wash cycle could be activated. Tipping the machine back and draining all the water from it solved the problem. Thanks Crytech!
This worked for me - my dishwasher was not pumping out filling up with water and was showing error message E1, ie the aqua stop device had obviously kicked-in, but there was no sign of any leakage on the hose.
Despite being a built- in dishwasher, it was fairly easy to remove the inspection panel at the base of the front of the machine to see that about 1 cm of water had collected in the bottom of the machine.
I disconnected the power, slid the dishwasher forward (needed to remove 2 fixing screws and lower the adjustable feet a little) then was able to tilt the machine forward to remove the water - as an additional measure, I mopped- up the residue with kitchen towels and left it to try out for an hour or two.
To test, I reconnected the power - the dishwasher started up immediately and has worked well ever since.
I just wonder if I'd called out an engineer, if they'd been able to fix the problem, as it certainly would be difficult to find if I hadn't Googled for help !
