Miele G685 SC – 3 horizontal lines???

[Hellvixen]

Hello,

New to this and have done a search but can’t find anyone with the same problem as me!

We were given a Miele G685 SC dishwasher and it’s been working fine until the other day. It stopped midcycle. There was lots of gunk in the bottom filter so I cleaned it all out. However, 3 horizontal lines show up in the display. I looked in the instruction book and it suggested the following:

The wash cycle finishes too early
and three horizontal lines “—” appear
in the time display.
Turn the programme selector to
STOP.
Switch off the dishwasher with the
ON/OFF switch.
After a few seconds:
Switch on again with the ON/OFF
switch.
Select the programme again and
start.
If the lines are still visible in the display
there is a technical fault.
Please call the MIELE Service Department.
In certain circumstances you can still
wash with the “Energy save” programme
(using hot water) and “PREWASH”.
As the programme progresses
the time left is displayed again in the
time display.

So I followed all of this, but still nothing. It won’t prewash or use the energy saving selection either. The ‘reactivating’ light does come on, but I’ve left it for about 2 hours and it doesn’t kickstart.

Any ideas?

Can be any of 4 faults, F1-F2-F3-F4 each to do with heating cycle, needing a Miele Engineer or one competant to check in service mode which fault it is & to rectify.
Appliance will run only cold wash programs until fault is repaired.

Thanks for your reply.

The dishwasher won’t run any programs, hot or cold.

Hi Hellvixen,

Trouble is that Miele will not release ANY information, service or otherwise, to anyone bar a Miele service engineer and will not allow anyone outside their own engineers to have their diagnostic software either.

So, we’re as much in the dark about Miele as the people that buy them.

You’ll just have to pay whatever ransom Miele demand or buy a new machines I’m afraid. 🙁
