Correcting minor faults
With the aid of the following explana-
tory notes, minor faults can usually be
corrected without contacting the Miele
Service Department.
Any work on the electrical components
of the machine should only be carried
out by a suitably qualified and compe-
tent person.

Faults/Possible Causes

The machine does not start
– Check that the door is properly shut.
– Check the plug connection or isolator.
– Check the fuses.
A few minutes after switching on, the
indicator light p q flashes.
– The stopcocks are closed.
– The water inlet hose filters are dirty.
Switch off the machine.
Open the stopcocks or clean the fil-
ters (see "Cleaning and care").
Switch on the machine again and re-
select the programme.
The wash cycle finishes too early
and the p q indicator light flashes
– The drain hose is kinked.
– The door was opened and closed
during the programme.
– There was an interruption to the
power supply.
Correct the fault
Pump away the water and start the
programme again (see procedure
under "Interrupting a programme").
The water in the wash cabinet is not
heated; the programme sequence
lasts too long.
This machine has a resettable heater
limiter which will switch off the heaters
in the case of over-heating. This could
be caused for example, if large articles
obscure the heating elements or if the
filters in the wash cabinet are blocked.
Remove cause of fault.
Take off service panel (see under
"Electrical connection").
Press in the re-set button (blue) on
the heater limiter.
If this switch trips repeatedly, your Ser-
vice Dealer or the Miele Service Depart-
ment must be contacted.
In the event of any faults which cannot
be remedied, please contact your Ser-
vice Dealer or the Miele Service Depart-
ment.
