Dishwashing

Detergent residue in the detergent compartment

Detergent residue is left in the dishwasher’s detergent compartment at the end of a program. The detergent has not fully dissolved.

The detergent compartment was still damp when detergent was added.

Only add detergent when the detergent compartment is dry.

The middle spray arm is clogged.

Turn off the dishwasher.

Remove the spray arm as follows:

  • Rotating the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise | Removing the spray arm | Miele dishwashers
  • Rotate the screw thread of the middle spray arm clockwise  (when viewed from above). Remove the spray arm .

  • Using a pointed object to push food particles in the nozzles | Cleaning the spray arm | Miele dishwashers
  • Use a pointed object to push food particles that are stuck in the spray arm jets into the spray arm.

  • Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water.

  • Reinstall the spray arm. Check that the spray arm can be rotated freely.

Additional information can be found in the linked video.

The lower basket has been loaded incorrectly.

There are large objects (such as pizza dishes) in the lower basket in front of the detergent compartment. The water jets or the lid of the detergent compartment are obstructed.

Load the front area of the lower basket with small items of dishware so that the detergent compartment lid can open and the water jets are not obstructed.

The detergent has not fully dissolved.

Some tabs may not dissolve completely in a short program.

Use a different program or a different detergent.

For thorough and gentle cleaning of glasses, dishware, and cutlery, Miele recommends using Miele products.
