Question about Miele 24 in. G638 Plus Free-standing Dishwasher

Dishwasher does not complete cycle

I have a Miele DW.G638. The DW seems to get almost to the end of it"s cycle the stops. The Inlet/drain indicator flashes.When you open the cabinet and look inside there is some water in the bottom.However when you restart the water is drained away.Any thoughts as to why it does not finish it"s programmed cycle.It seems to stop before drying time.

Thanks dovi for your help.After having read other posts it seems to me that similar problems are common place on these machines. That is Miele DW'S.My machine has completed one programmed cycle since. Hopefully the problem has cleared .I did blow down the drain hose before I originally posted.Thanks again. Psaints

These days everything is a computer, check all lines(water in) & (drain line) then there is a water sensor at the bottom of the unit, if the dtain pump keeps running; there is a leak & trouble shoot to find it. If all checks out it's the control board in the door. It will usually be the 1st thing to go bad.

It could be a clogged in the drain line. Often the problem is at the point where the drain line attaches to the garbage disposer or household drain line. You should remove this line and clear it form any debris in the hose or the hose connection. Be sure to reattach the hose before starting the dishwasher again. Good luck!

No water gettinng into the dishwasher.

Hi - question for you - is the display showing either F06-F07? or is the inlet/drain led flashing rather fast? ...

In all cases these are the areas that needs to be looked at- check the inlets for any blockages & your H2O pressure is good.

Likely faulty components in the order I would check - inlet valve is the 1st, the coil is most likely to be burnt, not sure which part of the world you are - this could be either 110V/220V ac. If however a little H2O spurts then stops then it could well be the flowrate monitor thats at fault and both has to be accessed from the front & bottom of the dishwasher.

Someimes the due to water not drainning on start up then, it could be a blockage to the drain system.

By this I mean when the Mieles are switched on & started the drain will always start 1st before the cycles would initiate.

Hope this helps you...

which light is flashing? if the intake drain light is blinking and you dont hear the drain pump, it means water is not coming in. if the drain pump is running all the time, it means water has leaked into the bottom pan. behind the plastic toe kick, there is a panel that can be removed with two phillips head screws. It you can see water in there, you can dry it out, and try to run another cycle. if it runs fine, cut back on your detergent usage. if it leaks again within a cycle or two, you will need to locate the leak and repair.

hi,
you may have something rapped around the impellers of the circulation pump causing low water pressure. the unit will start and stop to try to clear the blockage. if the circulation pump is really jammed the inlet/drain light will light. it could be a faulty pressure switch but they are not common to fail.

Hope this helps

The G638 finished its cycle but didn't completely

pump maybe on it's way out, though i doubt it, is the washing machine on the same drain out? if so you may have back wash, another could be lengh of drain hose, i had the same problem with my miele dishwasher because of the position in the kitchen i doubled up the drain hose and though it pumped out fine, with the volume of water left in the hose it came back in untill i repositioned the drain hose so it could't run back, hope this helps.

Inlet/Drain light keeps flashing

Kenyanjoe, I have had the same problem with a G638 . the inlet/drain light flashed 30 sec after start up, (the machine must empty on start up, this did not happen), This caused it to lock out on alarm I removed the drain hose from the S trap,removed the non return valve from the filter, check the drain pump impellar is free, then blow down the drain hose back into the dishwasher to make sure it was not blocked then found the drain pipe on the S trap under the sink was restricted causing the machine not to empty in time for the cycle to continue causing it to lockout on inlet/drain alarm. Have a go , good luck. GUNNO

Miele G638 dishwasher.

Hi John I have the same problem, the manual says that it is because the water level is to low, this is checked by opening the door after the machine has stopped filling and before it starts to wash, the level should be 4mm above the main plastic filter ring, the level has two settings, these can be adjusted by pressing the start button and the On/Off button at the same time, release the start button and turn the control to economy 45,if the start light does not come on the level is set to normal, to increase level press the start button again and the light should come on, this will give you an increased filling time. it did no help me but it may help you. good luck
