Why does my Miele dishwasher keep draining and won't start?

Water has likely reached the base tray and triggered the leak protection. The source could be a hose, seal or excessive suds. We find the leak, dry the base and reset the system so it runs normally.

Why are my dishes gritty on well water in Clover?

Sediment in the water is the likely cause. It can clog the filter, the spray arms and the inlet screen. Clean those first, and if the grit continues, consider a sediment filter for the house.

Our Lake Wylie dishwasher won't drain after we were gone a month. What happened?

Food residue may have dried in the filter or drain, or the drain pump may be sticking after sitting. Clean the filter and run the disposal if the dishwasher drains through it. If it still won't drain, we test the pump.

Miele Dishwashers: What We Check First

Miele dishwashers are known for quiet operation, a third-level cutlery tray, and on many models automatic detergent dosing. They also include a built-in water softener that needs reactivation salt, and a leak protection system with a float in the base tray. If water reaches that tray, the dishwasher stops filling, runs the drain pump, and shows a fault message. Many integrated models open with a knock on the panel or a push-to-open door.

Base leak protection float tripped by a hose or seal leak
Drain pump blocked by glass or food beneath the filter
Empty softener salt reservoir leaving white film on dishes
Hinge springs wearing under heavy custom cabinet panels

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Miele dishwasher repair guide.

Sediment, iron and rural water

Dishwashers on private wells around Clover face sediment and iron that clog the inlet valve screen, coat the spray arms and leave a gritty film on dishes. A slow fill, weak spray or rust-colored residue in the tub are typical signs. Cleaning the spray arms and the filter at the bottom of the tub helps, and a whole-house sediment filter kept on schedule protects the valve.

If a dishwasher on well water stops filling entirely, the inlet valve may be clogged beyond cleaning or stuck shut. Turn off the dishwasher's breaker and the supply valve under the sink before pulling the kick plate to look for drips. Replacing the valve is a common, moderate repair, and the technician will also flush the line so the new screen does not clog on the first cycle.

Idle machines in lake homes

A dishwasher that sits unused for weeks can develop dried seals, a stuck float or a pump that hesitates at startup. Before leaving a Lake Wylie home for a while, run a quick rinse cycle and leave the door slightly open. If it will not start, drain or fill when you return, we test the pump, valve, float and controls, and we give you the price before any work.
