The intake/drain light blinks. How do I fix this problem?

If you checked the intake water filter and drain filter and still have this problem -- Try this...
1 - You need to take the diswasher out.
2 - Turn it on its side so you can access the bottom panel.
3 - Unscrew the bottom panel
4 - Take off the electric circulation motor (big electric motor with a bunch of hoses going into it (it is the biggest motor -- not the small motor at the front of the machine (this thing actually screws in place from the back of the machine). To take the motor off - just unscrew the bolt from the back of the machine and wiggle the thing out from the seal.
5 - Unscrew the 4 screws (need a one of those special star screw drivers) that hold the motor to the pump mechanism
6 - Turn the wheel to unseize the motor -(it takes very little pressure to do this) and reinstall it -- it will very likely work again (if it does not - you need to replace this motor)
There is apprently an easier way to do this from inside the machine - but meile technicians have a special tool to go in and turn the motor blade to unseize this. It takes very little pressure and I think it would be a crime to pay someone else to do this -- it is so simple....
So, in summary, first check to make sure there are no blockages in the filters - then try this...
good luck!

I had a problem where my G842Plus dishwasher would run through the prewash and then the intake/drain light would start blinking and it wouldn't work. There would be water in the bottom of the dishwasher. After cleaning out various items to no avail, we called Miele technical support and they told us to reset the codes and then keep trying it over and over until it worked.
Here is how we reset the codes:
