Miele G892SC SS Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I have a G851sci dishwasher. I finally found what the issue was when the End, Top Solo, and Start LEDs flash on and off randomly. It has to do with the wash cycle selector knob. This knob is connected to a 12-position rotary switch mounted on the circuit board inside the control panel. The problem is that the switch contacts are oxidized and are not making good contacts. So to fix this, you have to remove that circuit board from inside the control panel. I won't go into details on how to do that but once you have it out, you'll see the rotary switch made by Seuffer, a German electronics company that no longer exists as Seuffer. Luckily, this rotary switch can be taken apart without removing it from the board. There are four clips that must be bent out to remove the top part. Once you have this open, take a very fine 600 grit or higher sandpaper and remove the oxidation from all the metal contacts that are in there. Do the same for the wiper on the knob side that you pulled off. Once that's done, use a cotton swab with alcohol to remove dust and debris from the inside amd off the contacts. Now simply reassemble everything. This issue should now be gone. This issue is related to F03 fault code. The service manual, which you can find somewhere off the web, explains how to extract the fault codes from your machine. Hope this helps.

hi,

you will have to purchase spare parts from Miele directly or from a miele authorised dealer. you cannot purchase spare parts any other way.

if you look at www.miele.com and chose your country you will find your local Miele dealer or office

The water in the pan is what is causing the issue - need to find the cause of the leak - door seal or pin hole in a hose - possibly a leaking pump

You do not require brackets , DW can be secured thru the holes on side of washer as well as threw the inside top

James - most Miele dishwashers are side mounted to the cabinet - what Model are you referring to and I can let you know. Thanks

I don't have the same model but I found this on the web,2011-11-25_043923_g600__800_miele_service_manual.pdfIt should point you in the right direction.

Hi,

The scum, film and white residueproblems have started since the reductionof phosphates in dishwasher detergents.

Here is a tip that will help you to solve the problem of films, residue, and scum in your dishwasher.

DishwasherResidue and Film on Dishes

Hi,
There are several causes in dishwashers that make dishes come out with film on them or something of the sort. Here they are.
1 Water temperature should be 140 degrees. Your dishwasher should have a "sani" cycle that heats up the water into that range.
2 Most dishwashers were never engineered for liquid soap. So if you are using it, go to powder soap.
3 A rinse agent is definitely a big plus
4 In some parts of America, such as Florida, lime deposits build up in the machine and accumulate onto the dishes and glasses. It's a white film. It also accumulates in the parts of the machine and clogs them. If this is the case. Run white vinegar in the machine.
Empty the machine.
Turn it on.
While the machine is filling with water, (not at the very very beginning as it will drain out existing water when it is started) put a quart of vinegar in and run it. If it has lime deposits it will greatly reduce them.

5 The spray arms may be jammed with pieces of food or other debris. make sure the holes in the arms are not obstructed.

That should do it.
Best, Mark

The problem is hard water. www.dishwasherfilter.com has a product to solve this problem once and for all. It filters the water going into your dishwasher and removes the hard minerals that leave those spots. It is very affordable and even has a money back guarantee. You will love the way your dishes look with this product.

Hi,
Check your heating element..

A bad heating element causes many problems in dishwashers…

Hi dear.I thing that states,you're machine's main wash pump (leaking & caused motor's) bearings worn out or the impeller brush up it's housing.That can also cause hissing sound.Pump needs to be change.Call service centre.I hope that helps.Thanks.

Hello,

welcome to Fixya.

The issue is likely just the blower and housing drain hose blocked with "dirt" from time & use.

First things first...**turn off the power via the breaker at your home service panel...safety first**

Yes, you will need to take the door panel off ( watch those edges they are VERY sharp ) and unfasten the control panel as well, the screw`s are around the perimeter of the door facing the dishwasher tub opening.

Once you have the panel off, you will then unscrew the round part surrounding the vent fan inside the door ( it turns about 1/4 turn counter-clockwise ) the fan motor assembly can be pulled off the door and cleaned out.

You should now remove the small rubber drain line from the fan to the tub which is routed inside the door panel & clean it out as it too gets plugged hence, not allowing the condensation to run back into the tub to be pumped out so when you open the door it pours onto your floor.

Hope you find that helpful. Let me know how you make out or if you require further assistance.

Good luck.

hi,

this is a general fault light which could mean anything without a Miele Technician coming out and connecting a laptop to the unit. However most common faults with dishwashers is a drain fault. Check for any kinked hoses and check the drain spigot under the sink where the drain hose connects into the u bend. Usually this is where food gets trapped due to the spigot not being drilled out large enough. This then causes a blockage. Also check the non return valve under the filter and make sure the drain pump can turn freely.
Hope this helps.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. The first thing that should be checked is if its draining properly as it could be that the drain hose is clogged and needs to be cleaned. The drain pump also should not be clogged. Also the stopcock should be opened fully and the water inlet valve should be checked for any clogs. Also the metal filter, impeller cover and the air gap unit should be checked. After checking this you can reset the error as follows: turn the rotary selector switch to "Stop/End" or press the "Start/Stop" switch for approx. 5 secs. Then switch the appliance off and then back on again. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

Check rinse aid is actually dispensing - turn it up to max for a while to clear it, and check level is going down after a week.

If you suffer with hard water - your heating element may need replacing as it is probably furred up.

Hi,
Here is a tip the will elaborate on your problem more, but the bottom line is that you need to replace that fill valve...

you probably can find a stainless solution at www.applianceart.com. I know they sell stainless panels and also stainless steel foils that can be applied.

hi,

F51 fault is more than likely the heater relay is faulty but it could be your circulation pump is jammed up. if you are confident you can easily replace the replace the relay if it is faulty. you would need to put a meter across the terminals. if it is ok then the pump is blocked. if you are not confident you would require a service call. Miele have there own deadicated service team if you live in a metro area

hope this helps.
