Hi - its possiblily the following issues if its flashing rapidly then the electronic module maybe faulty. The other possibilties are the float switch inside the salt conatner is jammed or the reed switch for the float switch in the salt container does work.

Hello again - I am sorry about the earlier post, obviously I misread your request.

There are two look into - Salt LED flashes rapidly

Cause - The electronic unit indicates a fault because of an unexpected component malfunction.

When the led stays on continously - Cause; The reed switch in the salt container does not operate. The other cause is the float in salt container jammed.

Then again perhaps your salt has runout - just need a top up.

Thi s would not disable the use of the machine though - its regarded as a USER error and they do not disable the machine.

You need to add rinse aid!

There is normally a place on the inside of the door which you unscrew and top up using any Rinse Aid fluid.

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.

Water leaking from under the machine (Miele G638 Plus) dishwasher

The salt tank is a pathetic piece of ****. The plastic cracks and leaks into the bottom tray, which in turn sets off the safety switch.
Follow the attaching hoses and bypass the salt tank unless you really need it. This will save you around $250 for a salt tank and $300 labour for callout and repair.
