Review of Miele built-in dishwashers

Almost all equipment from this manufacturer is premium. But even this does not make it less popular among Russian consumers. Let's look at built-in Miele dishwashers with different body widths.

A little about the model range

The ability to integrate appliances into kitchen units is convenient for most buyers. Thanks to this, the devices themselves remain less noticeable and the overall design style does not change. The Miele manufacturer's model range includes models that are fully or partially built-in.

There are two types of main dimensions for Miele washing machines:

1. 45, or 60 cm wide.
2. Simultaneous placement of 9 to 14 sets of dishes inside.

Many devices are equipped with special displays for easy control. In the case of completely built-in models this part is placed on the upper end of the door.

Miele dishwashers: main characteristics

It is worth telling in more detail why the products of this particular brand stand out among analogues:

• One of the drying modes is called Turbo. The dishes are washed and dried in the shortest possible time.
• Dish tray, from an exclusive series. Miele develops special technologies for its built-in dishwashers. This pallet has several tiers and looks like a construction set. It is easy to disassemble and reassemble if necessary. You don’t have to worry, even if the most expensive and fragile dishes are loaded inside. The fixation remains reliable during washing, and the products will definitely not break. The instructions provide a detailed description of working with pallets for maximum result.
• Tabs option support.

All latest models of dishwashers are equipped with this design. Suitable for housewives if they prefer tablet detergents.

• Working with the reload function.

Many people are faced with a situation where the machine has already started working, but they still find dirty dishes that they don’t want to leave behind. The reload function makes it easy to place dishes inside, even if the machine is already running.

The Miele company produces so-called laboratory dishwashers. They differ from other models in the ability to disinfect – that is, they completely get rid of harmful microorganisms. This is an excellent option not only for laboratories themselves, but also for ordinary apartments where there are people with serious illnesses.

45 dB – noise level typical for almost all built-in dishwasher models. Owner reviews confirm this.

Errors and common codes for equipment

Any dishwasher encounters problems of various types.That’s why the manufacturer created special codes to make it easier to figure out the problem and fix it. The instructions included with the equipment describe the following types of errors:

1. F Indicates a malfunction related to the pressure switch on the heaters.
2. F This means that the heater is not receiving the required amount of water.
3. F12 – when there is no water filling.
4. F11 – water does not drain.
5. FO2 – problems associated with heating water. For example, due to an open circuit in the temperature sensor.
6. Fo Another type of water heating breakdown. For example, due to short circuits.

What to do in the case of equipment repair?

Miele produces high-quality appliances. Breakdowns don't happen that often. Usually the problems are not related to the machines themselves, but to factors arising externally. That’s why it becomes so easy to handle repairs with your own hands.

• Checking the connectors is the first step when Fo1 or Fo codes appear. Sometimes the connectors simply move away from the connection points due to an uneven floor. This situation can be easily corrected on your own.
• Codes F12 and F13 require testing at the water tap. It often happens that the owners themselves block it. For example, when they leave home for a long time. When there is a danger of pipe rupture, this situation also occurs frequently.
• F11 is an error that requires careful examination of the filters for clogging inside.
