My G892SC is almost 10 years old and recently had the same problem. The machine seemed to be stuck in the drain cycle and the intake/drain light flashed. I called Miele and ran through a few diagnostic tests but nothing worked. I had a Miele certified technician come out to look at the problem and he told me the drain pump needed to be replaced and that it would cost about $500 for the part and labor. While researching the cost of a new dishwasher, I stumbled on some online discussions about this problem and someone suggested pressing all 4 lower buttons on the control panel at the same time. I tried it last night and it worked! I only ran the wash & hold cycle but will try a full cycle tonight.
I have the same machine about 11 years old with the same fault. My certified tech told me it was the electronic control module ($500 + labor). Last night I did the 4 button reset & ran a 4 cycle wash with no problems. I put the repair on hold for a couple more washes. Thanks for hopefully saving me over $600!

I too had this same problem. I rang a repair agent and he talked me through checking the same areas you have all checked. When it continued the same pattern over a few days, I rang him again and this time he talked me through checking where the pipes meet the drain under the sink. When it was all taken apart, there was a small disk of bone which had somehow managed to sit in the junction of the pipes and occasionally block the water outlet area. Perhaps give this a try. Good luck.
We have a five year old g892scu+ which has worked flawlessly for five years. We too are experiancing the intake/drain flashing light.
The unit will run for a few minutes at first but once it fails it won't run at all and the intake/drain light will light immediatly.
I checked every possible cause; cleaned the intake filter and confirmed water flow into the unit. Checked that all the drain pipes were in fact draining, yet no joy when we reset the unit by holding down the start button for a few seconds releasing it then pressing it again.
It would seem that the unit has some sort of pan underneath that has a float switch. If water gets into the pan via a leak, the "anti-flood" float switch turns off the intake water and the unit goes into intake/drain fault.
I have no idea how the water is getting into the pan, but having ruled out all other possiblities it would seem to be the problem. I guess we will call the repair man.
The inlet/drain light on my dishwasher is flashing , I have mislaid the manual can you explain how I can rectify the problem please , I am assuming something is blocked.
Hi
I gave the sensor and filter section a good clean and my dishwasher started working fine again .
