Miele 24 in. G892SCU Plus Built-in Dishwasher Logo
Anonymous Posted on Mar 04, 2010

Only Upper basket and cutlery basket wash

I purchased a broken Miele G892SCU Plus dishwasher for next to nothing in hopes that I can repair and install it. The lower spray does not function. It spins freely and is not clogged, the filters are clean, and I do not suspect any mechanical impediment. Becuase the dishwasher features a "top solo" cycle, I'm inclined to believe that there must be a solenoid/valve that closes the inlet to the lower spray arm that may have failed. I have not taken it the machine apart yet, and am hoping someone with experience can tell me if my thinking is right or if there is likely another cause for this. Any input would be appreciated. (If I'm way off, I don't have much invested in the machine)

Got a bargain here ,a miele ?? the rolls royce of machines ,cant say i have repaired one of these myself but if no water from bottom spinner then i am sure it could be the programmer like you suspect and a solonoid operated valve ,most likely fault is the programmer so by pass the valve and just use the ,main wash and never mind about the top only cycle .If it is the programmer then no doubt it would cost more than a new cheap machine so the previous owner sold it ,like a second hand car if it plays up put it in auction

Where can I buy new loading baskets for my DWI 160 dishwasher?

These come as several parts. Not sure if all are available anymore as Candy parts. But you can get replacement Hoover parts to fit.

Main basket from Candy
Candy DWI 160W UK Dishwasher Basket

Cutlery basket from Candy
Candy DWI 160W UK Universal Cutlery Basket

The Upper and Lower baskets may not be available from Candy but Hoover replacements are
Candy Use HVR41022779 Lower Basket

Best to ask Candy support to provide pictures of the parts for comparison with your model or purchase or a refund policy if not suitable.

There is another site worth checking (but prices seem high)

We have got the machine for approximately 2 years and the top dish rack has corroded so badly that I think it might collapse with a load on it. What could be the cause of it?

The causes are usually poorly coated rack combined with rough usage (coating pierced
by cutlery, broken stemware, etc., combined with hard (mineral-laden) water, which
corrodes the steel of the rack quickly.
Luckily, the upper rack is replaceable, so check:

Intake/drain light flashes and the dishwasher won't run

hi,

this is a general fault light which could mean anything without a Miele Technician coming out and connecting a
laptop to the unit. However most common faults with dishwashers is a drain fault. Check for any kinked hoses and check the drain spigot under the sink where the drain hose connects into the u bend. Usually this is where food gets trapped due to the spigot not being drilled out large enough. This then causes a blockage. Also check the non return valve under the filter and make sure the drain pump can turn freely.
Hope this helps.

Intake Drain Light

My Miele Incognito dishwasher kept getting an error with intake/drain light. The light flashed 5 times. Phoned Miele Technical Support to investigate the problem. The problem is that a seal in the bottom of the dishwasher has failed and there was water in the motor pan. Currently, $175 service charge for the technician to come look at it.

I don't want to spend $175+ to have them replace a 75 cent rubber gasket that I could replace on my own.
