I’ve Aquired A Miele D/W G5500SC Need Your Help – See Images

[laurenceuk]

Hi,

The symptoms are that it seems to only partially fill. The image below shows the water level just inside the solid lines. The arrows point to being able just about to see shadow of edge of water.

It then just does a short washing action for a few seconds then stops, this start/stop action continues for a few minute then starts emptying after which ‘water inlet’ and a tap symbol appears in the display and the machine will stop. I reset the program then try again and same thing happens (no water is leaking into the base incidentally).

Any ideas about possible causes would be appreciated as I want to adopt this as my own.

See images below…

Thanks
Laurence

Possible detergent wrapper or similar in the wash impellor. Machne thinks there isn’t water or enough in it. It’s easy to drop the motor out when it’s on it’s back, and then you can see.
That’s what I would look at without any further ado:)

Thanks Kentish,

The recirc motor in the image below. Is that the one you had in mind.

Any tips or just a question of digging in…

Thanks again,

Laurence

Motor secures from the back, so standing up the best to remove that. Then just disconnect the electrics and hoses and ease it out. Try to restrict any water getting onto the components when you disconnect hoses. I always use WD40 or similar to help in the refitting process of the hoses and motor into the centre main seal.
You will probably need to unclip the heat pump cover plate and things. It isn’t that hard, just scary when you do it for the first time.
Most Mieles have guide fins within the impeller housing that stop you seeing the impeller clearly without dismantling the assembly.
I have though never had a problem with the wash motor assembly after taking one of them apart to clear the impeller.
