Re: Miele G692 SC Plus Woes
Hi again
I had heard about a stuck circulation pump causing this error and a special tool from Miele – look here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oQwa-0lQk4
Make yourself a tool, or call Miele for one. It will cause our error so is worth a go.
Good Luck!

Re: Miele G692 SC Plus Woes
Hi same problem with 7 year old Miele.
I have taken it out and removed the left hand panel, cleaned out the gunk in the water mixer and thought that would be it but ‘no’. I checked the flow switch (reed switch) on the left and that is OK. It is counting water in and out and calculating what needs to be done based on pressure/flow so sounded likely suspect.
Like you I switch on a program, the test cycle starts water in, some then pumped out, the main pump starts (dry) and within the first 15 seconds inlet/outlet warning light.I switched the pressure switch on the left of the sump because that measures water/pump pressure and I was told will produce the fault but no good. I am just resetting my old switch to try that (pressure for switch activation).
I have no hose kinks, 4 bar pressure have had all the pipes off and cleaned everything.
I’ll let you know if I crack it.
It must be something simple.

Re: Miele Dishwasher Red Inlet Light Warning Within 1 Minute
Well stripped it out and removed the left hand panel. Can now see the plastic water mixer system and the outlet channel from the top reservoir is full of white lime looking crud. So I can see water entering and now see why the flow meter cannot count much.
Now trying to hunt down the part so will look on the link/sponsor here. If anyone has tips on where to source a Water Inlet Mixer with Resin Chamber for a Miele G1142 Sci appreciate it.Two other thoughts to get it going. 1. Remove the low pressure restrictor for a single cycle from the inlet pipe connection under the machine (sounds risky but might clear it).
2. Take the think out and use a limescale cleaner to break it down.Tips appreciates, particularly a lead on a spare part source.

Re: Miele Dishwasher Red Inlet Light Warning Within 1 Minute
Measured water pressure at the kitchen tape where the dishwasher connects and it is 4 bar. Turn another tap on elsewhere and it drops to 2 bar. So I have reasonable water pressure and think this is pointing towards the flow meter. Found a replacement part here: http://www.partmaster.co.uk/product.pl?pid=1698394 £32 and hooray found a 221 page technical manual that helps explain it all.
When I fix it I will post that to help others.
On the start cycle not much water flows in (1/8th cup) then it pumps out the little that is there but keeps pumping. So that seems to me like it is not counting what comes in, or goes out properly.

Thanks for your suggestions. It is built in and therefore I will take it out tomorrow and dig further. I would be pretty sure there is no leak, We have a tiled floor and that would show up quickly. Your tip on re-programming for low pressure was good but I found the manual and you can program water hardness and rinse aid volume dose but not length of fill. I just remembered I have a water pressure gauge in the garage so will check that but I am sure that is now OK. There was a fault but I now have 4.5 bar in the garage and need 0.3 bar min according to the manual. I can see I have 2.5+ at the tap that the feed runs from. Inlet pipe is not kinked. I want to seek out and check the inlet valve, flow meter and reed switch. Inlet valve is clearly the other side of the inlet pipe. Which side will I find the flow meter and reed switch? I read it was often on the left hand side – so take the dishwasher out to access? Does the reed switch turn in the water and count flow and is the flow meter the electronic bit that calculates from that reed switch pulses – correct? I have experience of flow meters on ground source heat pump installs but have not pulled the side of my dishwasher before.
Guidance appreciated.

Jer
