When you select any programme on this dishwasher and push the start button it will do the drain out then fill with water. once full the water stops as normal but nothing else happens no wash motor, after about 1 minute the wash light goes out and the inlet/drain light flashes non stop. I have checked the wash motor and when it is silent i have got 240volts to the two red wires with blue connecter on motor but there is nothing on the two white wires with white connector. Is this correct and am i looking at a seized motor. Any help will be much appreciated

Sounds like a jammed wash motor to me. Probably done the same as the Bosch types do and stuck the seals together. Once you have removed the motor and unjammed it the appliance should work fine.

I wouldn’t mind betting that if you turn the machine off, turn the water off, slip the fill hose and wait a couple of minutes before re-pressurising – it’ll go………..

If machine hasn’t been used for a long time sometimes the carbon faced seals sieze up. In the sump area of the dishwasher, lift out filters locate the pipe going to the wash pump, if you use a tool like a 2 pronged fork you can manually move impellor (if theres nothing fouling it) it should then go ok.
This tool is available to Miele engineers and they are recommended to do this before dismantling. Anyone could make a tool similar, I made one using an old “peg board” bracket.
If however this doesn’t get it shifted dismantle motor & pump & theres probably something stuck in pump section.
Just for the record on the new range of Miele dishwashers theres a pressure switch with 2 contacts, if no pressure is noted after a few seconds of supply to motor, pump motor will reverse, it will try again to wash, it does this 10 times before aborting programme if still no pressure sensed.
