A Warning and Safety Instructions

1 General Information
Danger!
 The low voltage produced in the electronic is not fully electrically isolated
from the power supply. If power supply connection is via a reversible plug,
and if this is reversed, then the live (phase) voltage is not applied to
terminal [1] or [L] at the terminal block. If a plug contact is then
disconnected, e.g., from the NTC temperature sensor, supply voltage is
applied to these plug contacts.
Note:
 Before starting any service work, disconnect the machine from the power
supply. Service and repair work should only be carried out by qualified
persons in accordance with all appropriate local and national safety
regulations.
 When carrying out measurements on an electronic connected to the
power supply, always use narrow measuring probes. Contacts are very
closely spaced and using thicker probes may cause short circuits.
 For extra safety it is advisable to install a residual current device (RCD)
with a trip current of 30mA or less (in accordance with DIN VDE 0664,
VDE 0100 part 739). All regulations of the appropriate utility supply
companies and standards relating to safety (not limited to electrical
safety) are to be complied with. After any repair or service work, it is
essential that an electrical safety check is carried out in accordance with
DIN VDE 0701-1, part 1.

2 Touch Current Measurement

Note:
 Touch current measurement should be carried out on all accessible
conductive parts that are not connected to ground.
Warning!
 Touch current measurement should only be carried out after the ground
connection of the machine under test has been checked and found to be
satisfactory!
 Dangerous voltages may exist on defective machines as well as on
accessible conductive parts that are not connected to ground!
Note:
 Touch current measurement should be carried out on the following
accessible conductive parts: None.

Technical Information
3 Risk of Injury Due to Sharp Edges and Protruding Parts
Danger!
 There may be a risk of injury due to protruding parts.
Protective goggles should be worn.
 There may be a risk of injury due to sharp edges. Protective gloves should
be worn and the edge protection (mat. no. 05057680) should be used.

4 Uninstalling the Dishwasher

Before the machine is removed from its installation niche, the appliance
feet must be screwed in (for positioning, refer to the installation plan).
If this is not done the feet could become damaged.
If the machine is installed on skids, adjusting the feet is not required.

5 Service Work – Casing

Warning!
 If it is necessary to tip the machine when working on its lower areas, it
may only be tilted onto its back.
 The appliance must not be tilted onto its left side as this would cause
brine to run out of the salt container.
 After work has been completed and the machine installed again, a short
program without load should be carried out. This is to remove any salt
residues that might be present and to prevent possible corrosion.

6 Installation Aids Containing Silicone

Warning!
Installation aids that contain silicone, e.g., silicone grease, are not suitable for
use in dishwashers because of the damage they can cause.
If, e.g., hoses or seals are treated with silicone in order to facilitate
installation, this could jam the circulation pump. Furthermore, ingredients in
silicone grease can evaporate and damage electrical components such as
heater relays.

3 Electrical and Plumbing Connections

3.1 Electrical Information
The appliance is equipped with a 4-foot power cord and molded NEMA 515
plug for connection to a NEMA 5-15R receptacle (120VAC, 15-amp, 3-prong,
grounded outlet).
It is recommended that the power outlet for the appliance be installed on the
wall (within the cabinets), adjacent to under-counter space where the
appliance is installed.
Ensure that the cabinets contain no rough edges that could damage the
power cord or drain hose. If metal cabinets are used, ensure that a rubber
grommet is installed around the opening.
Always exercise caution when sliding the dishwasher in or out, to prevent
damaging the power cord and/or hoses.

3.2 Hard-Wired Electrical Connection

Connect L1 (black) to L on the terminal block, N (white) to N on the terminal
block, and GND to the ground connector.
Note:
Hardwiring the dishwasher should only be done if required by electrical code.

18
G 5xxx

Technical Information
Do not cut the plug off the power supply cord/plug and connect it directly to
the house wiring under any circumstances. This voids the warranty.
For hardwiring, the power cord must be removed from the appliance by
disconnecting the cord from the terminal block located at the lower left front of
the dishwasher, behind the toekick and service panel. Feed the permanent
power supply cable through the strain relief and secure it directly to the
terminal block.
Note:
The appliance must be grounded.

3.3 Plumbing Connections

3.3.1 Intake Connection

The appliance is supplied with a 5-foot-long intake hose, equipped with a ⅜-
inch female hose connection. This hose connection can be directly connected
to a water supply valve or to an appropriate coupler/adapter (not included

3.3.2 Drain Connection

The appliance is equipped with a 5-foot-long drain hose with an internal
diameter of ⅞“.

D Layout of Electrical Components

1 Control Panels
Miele Futura dishwashers are categorized into three (3) product series, based
on the type of controls.

1.1 Touchtronic
This series of Miele dishwashers is operated by pushing a single button – no
separate temperature or drying selections – just turn the machine on, select a
program and Miele does the rest. All models include a diverse group of wash
programs for multiple cleaning needs. Models are designed to maximize
cleaning results and optimize water and energy conservation.

Figure D-1: Touchtronic Fascia Panel (G 5505/G 5705 Shown)

 G 5xxx
Technical Information
1.2 Incognito
The Incognito (fully integrated) series of dishwashers has the program
controls located on the top edge of the door, which can be accessed while
the door is open. Neither seen nor heard, the Miele Incognito Series OCI
(Optical Cycle Indicator) lets you see the progress of the dishwasher cycle via
a red light, which is steady or flashing depending on the status of the cycle.

Figure D-2: Incognito Fascia Panel (G 427x/G 4570/G 5175 Shown)

1.3 Navitronic
The Navitronic touch display consists of two electronic boards located behind
the control panel. The front program electronic board contains touchpad
sensors, which respond to finger contact. Three touchpad sensors are
present on each side of the display to control the menu items displayed next
to them (indicated by a small arrow) within the display area. During operation
the display will show:
 The program name
 The current time of day
 The program sequence
 The approximate remaining time
 Faults and messages

2.4 Automatic Door Lock Latch (“Drying Plus” Function)

This motorized door lock latch is used to close the door automatically after it
has been manually placed in the slightly open position and also to further
improve drying performance with the Drying plus function by opening the
door automatically at the end of a wash program.

40
G 5xxx

Technical Information
Note:
The Drying plus function is always active unless it has been deactivated in
programming mode.

The latch automatically opens the door of the machine for approximately 30
minutes; see Figure 020-4. The door latch advances from position 1 (door
closed, latch completely retracted) to position 3 (drying, latch completely
extended), i.e. extended approximately 4 inches (10 centimeters). See Figure
020-9. This opening of the door optimizes drying results, as moisture can
escape. The fan cooldown (approximately 10 to 15 minutes) prevents any
damage to kitchen countertops by the expelled moisture. The warm, moist air
from the cabinet is discharged into the room as it escapes through the door
via the air flow from the fan. During the drying phase of the program in
operation, the room air, which has been taken in by the fan and slightly
warmed by the condenser, is discharged into the room from the top part of
the panel (Figure 020-3). This heats up the countertop, preventing large
temperature differences between the cold countertop and the warm, moist
cabinet air released by the Drying plus process. This prevents the expelled
moisture from collecting on the bottom edge of the countertop; see Figure
020-4.
After the Drying plus cycle has completed, the motorized door lock latch
moves from position 3 (drying, latch completely extended) back to position 2
(door open, latch positioned in the center). See Figure 020-10. In this
position, the adjustable door lock latch is hidden by the countertop in front of
it. The customer can now open the door and unload the appliance.
For the user, the opening of the door is an additional indication that the
program has come to an end. While Drying plus is running, the door may be
opened at any time.

Technical Information
The dispenser contains a solenoid that is activated via pulses to dispense
detergent and rinse aid. The first pulse opens the detergent dispenser flap.
All following pulses then dispense rinse aid.
 During detergent dispensing the solenoid is activated by a brief pulse and
this allows the detergent dispenser flap to open.
 Rinse aid is dispensed in pulses. Each solenoid pulse dispenses
approximately 0.03 fluid ounces (1 milliliter) of rinse aid into the cabinet
interior. 3 solenoid pulses are therefore required to dispense the normal
quantity of rinse aid of 0.1 fluid ounces (3 milliliters) per wash. Each pulse
is applied for approximately 10 seconds so that there is sufficient time for
the rinse aid to flow into the cabinet. The pause between individual pulses
is also approximately 10 seconds.
 If the rinse aid container is empty, a reed switch is activated and this
lights up an LED in the control panel or display. The rinse aid container
has a capacity of 3.7 fluid ounces (110 milliliters).

2 Function
2.1 Cabinet Construction
The inner cabinet is constructed of stainless steel (1.4301) welded onto four
(4) vertical U-section sub-frames. The cabinet is sound- and heat-insulated
with bitumen and/or mineral wool matting.

2.2 Drying System

Depending on model, Futura dishwashers may be equipped with version 1 or
version 2 of recirculation Turbothermic drying.

1 Inner fan channel

2 Outer fan channel
3 Fan

Figure 040-1: Recirculation Turbothermic Drying

Recirculation Turbothermic drying (UTT) operates with two separate air paths:
1. Condensing circuit. To obtain a dry load, the cabinet must be
dehumidified. During this process, the remaining moist, warm air in the
cabinet is cooled down gradually. This is because cold air stores less
humidity than warm air. During the cooling process, drops of
condensation form, which deposit on the coldest places in the circuit. For
dehumidification of the cabinet, moist air is extracted above the cutlery

65
 G 5xxx
Technical Information
tray (front right) and directed into a condenser. This condenser is located
in the right outer wall of the appliance and cool air from the exterior flows
around it, thereby cooling the moist, warm cabinet air more quickly. To
enable optimal heat release in the cooling circuit, its side surfaces are
made of thin stainless-steel sheeting (0.004 inches or 0.1 millimeters).
The dehumidified air and the condensate are returned to the cabinet via
the round opening on the side. The condensate (½ water glass,
maximum) is collected in the sump and the air is recirculated. At the end
of the program, the condensate is pumped out.
2. Cooling circuit with ambient air. To cool the warm cabinet air, cold or
cool air is required. For this, ambient air is taken in via the front bottom
toekick area of the appliance and passed along both exterior sides of the
condenser. These are the spaces between the condenser and the
exterior wall of the appliance, and between the condenser and the cabinet
wall. Then the air is returned to the room from the top rear side of the
appliance. The effective heat transmission from the warmer to cooler air
stream leads to increasingly dehumidified cabinet air and thereby
efficiently dries the wash load.
The total separation of ambient air and cabinet air brings the following
advantages:
 Good drying performance is achieved independently of the type of water
connection (cold or hot water).
 The clear separation of condensation and cooling means there is no air
outlet in the fascia panel. The interior air remains entirely in the appliance.
The function of both versions of circulation Turbothermic drying is
comparable. However, version 2 has no condenser pocket. Therefore, the
dishwashing cabinet is completely closed – the openings, to which the
condenser pocket is attached in version 1, are eliminated. As a result, the
entire area of the right side panel is cooled by the fan. The moist, warm
cabinet air settles in the coldest areas of the cooling circuit and condenses on
the cool cabinet inside wall. Moisture is removed from the cabinet, and the
dishes dry through the residual heat. The condensation runs down the
cabinet inside wall to the sump and is pumped off at the end of the program.
2.3 Fan
Two different fan types are employed for the two different versions of
recirculation Turbothermic drying.
In version 1, a split-pole motor (approximately 23 watts) drives 2 impellers.
One impeller transports cool air to the exterior sides of the stainless-steel
sheeting, which serve as condensation surfaces. The second impeller
transports the water vapor in the appliance to the condensation surfaces.
In version 2, a split-pole motor (approximately 19 watts) drives one impeller,
which transports cool air to the outer surface of the right side panel.

Technical Information
2.2 WaterProof System (WPS)
The WaterProof System (WPS) consists of a number of interdependent
safety features to provide protection against water leakage.
1. Protection against solenoid valve leakage:
Each water intake is controlled by an inlet valve. If this valve cannot close
properly due to some defect or blockage by a foreign object, a second
inlet valve ensures that the water supply is shut off.
2. Protection against water intake hose leakage:
If a leakage occurs, water flows along an outer hose sleeve surrounding
the intake hose to the drip pan. Here a float switch then acts to switch off
a microswitch which closes the inlet valves to cut off the water supply.
3. Protection against dishwasher overflow:
If some defect has caused the water level in the appliance to rise so that
it overflows into the drip pan, and the water quantity sensor has also
failed, the float switch is activated. This switches off a microswitch which
closes the inlet valves to cut off the water supply. At the same time the
drain pump is activated.
4. Protection against drain pump failure or blocked drain path:
In this case the water level in the appliance rises until it overflows into the
drip pan where the float switch is activated. This switches off a
microswitch which closes the inlet valves to cut off the water supply.

resin container is at the bottom of the water diverter. The inlet valve is a
double solenoid valve and forms part of the WaterProof System. The water
diverter includes a number of safety features (in accordance with German
water supply laws), valves and sensors. The EGS valve (for the electronically
controlled water softener) and a reactivation valve for the water softener are
also located here, as is the flow meter. See Figure 050-4.

Technical Information
2.6 Water Softener Programming
If the on-site tap water hardness is above 8 grains per gallon (140 ppm), the
water should be softened.
If water softening is needed:
 The water softener reservoir must be filled with softener salt.
 The water hardness level must be programmed manually. See the
separate programming-mode guide.
If water softening is not needed:
 Salt is not needed and should not be added.
 For instructions on adding water softener salt, see Section 050-4.28.

2.7 Flow Meter B3/4, Water Intake Quantity

The water intake quantity is monitored by a flow meter (B3/4) integrated in
the water diverter. The water flow is measured in the hard-water area. A
permanent magnet located in the flow meter axle activates an external reed
switch each time the axle rotates. The pulses supplied by the reed switch are
registered by the electronic and compared with a target value stored in
memory for the particular program or program step in operation. For each
0.26 gallons (1 liter) of water, approximately 200 pulses should be registered.
When the target value (maximum number of pulses) is reached, the water
intake step is stopped. If the target value has not been reached after 4
minutes, the program is interrupted and the pump operates. Then, depending
on model, either the Intake/Drain LED flashes or fault code F13 (see Section
080-3.13) is displayed.

Note:
For specific information regarding permissible minimum flow pressure, see
the appropriate operating/installation instructions.

2.8 Electronically Controlled Water Hardness (EGS)

The EGS valve is located in the water diverter.
To prevent or avoid possible glass corrosion, the wash water hardness level
should not fall below 3 grains per gallon in program steps with heating and 5
grains per gallon in program steps without heating. With supply water
hardness below 20 grains per gallon (under 16 grains per gallon in heating
steps), solenoid Y5 is activated to add a proportion of hard supply water to
the cabinet. The proportion added in this way depends on the water hardness
level set at the electronic or that measured at the sensor softener. The EGS
system is not active as standard in all wash programs, but this can be
programmed as an option if required.

2.9 MPEH Circulation Pump (No Slide Shutter or Frequency Converter)

In the MPEH circulation pump (approximately 85 watts), all three spray arms
are supplied with water at the same time. The total water circulation rate is
approximately 18 gallons per minute. Approximately 4 gallons per minute

81
 G 5xxx
Technical Information
flows through the top spray arm, approximately 9 gallons per minute through
the middle spray arm and approximately 5 gallons per minute through the
bottom spray arm. This pump version does not have a speed sensor.
This pump is equipped with a winding changeover, which increases the
torque at the moment it is switched on (higher starting torque). In this state
the main winding is connected directly, and the auxiliary winding connected
indirectly via the capacitor, to the power supply. During normal operation the
efficiency is increased. The main winding is switched parallel to the capacitor.
The winding changes are made via a changeover relay on the electronic
module. At every switch-on, the changeover relay and the circulation pump
starting relay are supplied with power at the same time. The changeover
relay switches the windings with a time delay.
This circulation pump has thermal winding protection.

1 Water intake (suction area)
2 Output to middle spray arm
3a Output to top spray arm
3b Output to bottom spray arm

2.10 MPEW Circulation Pump (with Slide Shutter, No Frequency

Converter)
With spray arm alternation, the spray arms are only intermittently supplied
with water. This is achieved via a slide shutter which is moved back and forth
as appropriate to open or close water paths to the different spray arms. For
30 seconds both the top and bottom spray arms are supplied and during the
next 30 seconds the middle spray arm only. The total water circulation rate is
constant and is approximately 35 L/min.
Detergent is only dispensed when the middle spray arm is being supplied
with water.
The circulation pump is primed via the middle spray arm water circuit.
Therefore, at the start of a program, the water path control appliance first
directs water to the middle spray arm.
The MPEW version installed in these models has an integrated speed (Hall)
sensor.

82
G 5xxx

Technical Information
This pump has switched auxiliary windings which are additionally activated at
the moment of pump switch-on to raise the starting torque. In this state power
supply voltage is applied directly to the main winding and via the operational
capacitor to the auxiliary winding. During normal operation, the efficiency
factor is increased. The main winding is then switched to be in parallel with
the operational capacitor.
The winding changes are made via a changeover relay on the electronic
module.
At every switch-on, the changeover relay and the circulation pump starting
relay are supplied with power at the same time. The changeover relay
switches the windings with a time delay.
The circulation pump has thermal winding protection.

Load sensing:
The MPPW circulation pump does not have a Hall sensor to measure speed
of rotation. Instead of utilizing the Hall effect, the load is registered by
monitoring the circulation pump current consumption as follows:
During the water intake block, a certain fixed basic quantity of water is taken
into the machine. The load is sprayed with this water and some is thus
retained on items in the machine. The less water that flows back into the
sump, the larger the load because more water has been needed to wet the
individual items. The pump then has less water to circulate and its
mechanical load is reduced. By measuring current peaks, the control-power
electronic (SLT) calculates the additional quantity of water that must be taken
in to carry out the program.

Note: These voltages can also be measured when the pump is not activated.

2.12 Heater Element

Water heating is carried out by a ring heater element in the circulation pump
housing. The heater element and circulation pump together form one
component. This ensures that on models with spray arm alternation heating
can always be carried out whichever water path is currently being used.
Integrating the heater element in the pump housing also ensures that it is
always cooled sufficiently thus preventing the baking-on of soil particles or
impurities in the water. The heater rating is 1.30 kilowatts at 120 volts.
Various safety measures protect the heater element against overheating,
such as the following:
 Heater pressure switch
 NTC temperature sensor
 Electronic control
The heater is activated only when the circulation pump has taken in sufficient water.

2.13 Heater Pressure Switch, B1/13

Heater pressure switch B1/13 is located directly on the circulation pump and
registers the water pressure when the pump is in operation.

85
 G 5xxx
Technical Information
Using the pressure switch contacts, heating is controlled via 2 poles. The
heating is switched via a heater relay located before the pressure switch
contacts in the circuit. Heater activation occurs during the wash and final
rinse cycles.
If the circulation pump and heater relay are activated and the pressure switch
reset contact is open, the control registers a water intake fault (see Fault
Code F14, Section 080-3.14).

2.14 NTC Temperature Sensor R30

Temperature sensor R30 (NTC resistor) is located in the bottom area of the
sump. The electronic constantly monitors the current wash water temperature
via the resistance of this sensor.
 If the maximum safety temperature of 194°F at the NTC sensor is
exceeded, the program is interrupted (boiling prevention) and fault code
F26 is registered; see Fault Code F26, Section 080-3.20.
 If the sensor or its connections are open- or short-circuited, the heating is
switched off. The program then continues to the end without heating or
dispensing; see Fault Code F01, Section 080-3.9 (NTC short-circuited),
or Fault Code F02, Section 080-3.10 (NTC open-circuited).
 If, during heating, the desired temperature is not reached in the given
time, a fault is registered; see Fault Code F25, Section 080-3.19.

2.15 Turbidity Sensor (ECO Sensor III, Autosensor), B3/10

G 5xxx dishwashers are provided with one of two turbidity sensors,
depending on model. The ECO sensor III measures the turbidity of the water
and, based on this result, the wash blocks, temperatures and running times of
Sensor Wash programs are modified. In addition to this, the Autosensor has
a microprocessor to evaluate the particle measurement.
Principle of operation:
Water circulation and the presence of detergent cause bubbles to be
developed in the suds and measurement technology cannot differentiate
between these bubbles and suspended soil particles. With the turbidity
sensor, a proportion of the suds are directed into a bypass channel which is
wider at one end. This causes the flow rate to reduce and hence the bubbles
in the water to rise. The suspended soil particles in the water can then be
more accurately registered in the following measuring process.
A photoelectric barrier switch (infrared (IR) diode opposite a phototransistor)
acts as a turbidity sensor. Depending on the turbidity (transparency) of the
water, a certain current flows through the phototransistor. This current is
measured and processed by the electronic which then initiates the
appropriate action. If the level of turbidity passes certain thresholds, then,
depending on the soiling detected, subsequent cleaning cycles are modified

87
 G 5xxx
Technical Information
accordingly with regard to water quantity, program duration and temperature.
Note:
In addition, temperature compensation of the Autosensor is carried out via
an integrated NTC resistor.

The sensor is situated in the feed pipe to the top spray arm; see Figure 050-14,
Item 1.

Figure 050-14: Turbidity Sensor Location

The flow rate is approximately 4 gallons (15 liters) per minute. In order to
compensate for residues on the sensor and aging of the optical system, the
turbidity sensor must be recalibrated regularly. This process is carried out
automatically by the electronic and cannot be modified in any way.
Measurements are carried out at different times during the pre-wash, main
wash and interim rinse stages. For this the top and bottom spray arms must
be supplied with water.

Table 050-3: Spray Arm Speeds

Note:
The programs Pots and Pans, China & Crystal and Economy are not
suitable for checking spray arm speed. These programs are designed for
special applications, such as cleaning heavily soiled loads (Pots and
Pans), glassware (China & Crystal) or economical cleaning (Economy),
and operate with differing water pressure. The higher or lower water
pressure required for these programs is produced by the circulation pump;
see Sections 050-2.9 to 050-2.11.

2.17 Spray Arm Sensing, Middle and Bottom Spray Arms

Two spray arm sensors are installed on the water intake to monitor the
bottom and middle spray arms. A small magnet is installed on one end of
each of the two spray arms.
The sensor for the middle spray arm is monitored when the circulation pump
is in operation and the slide shutter is in the middle spray arm position.
The sensor for the bottom spray arm is monitored when the circulation pump
is in operation and the slide shutter is in the top and bottom spray arm
position. If the slide shutter position is undefined or if a fault occurs,
monitoring is not carried out.
The time period during which the spray arms are monitored is given by the
electronic. If a fault is detected, it will be indicated but not saved in the fault
memory. The indication will be canceled when the fault is remedied.
The minimum spray arm speed is approximately 5 revolutions per minute.
Therefore, the next pulse should be registered approximately 12 seconds
after the start of the monitoring time.
The maximum spray arm speed is approximately 50 revolutions per minute.
Therefore, the next pulse can be registered at the earliest approximately
1.2 seconds after the start of the monitoring time.
If a fault is indicated, the indication will remain active even after the door has
been opened. To cancel the fault indication, the door must be closed again.

2.18 Filter Combination with Microfine Filter

Circulation pump M6 pumps the wash water from the sump via the filter
combination to the spray arms. The circulating wash water is filtered via 2
parallel paths. A proportion of the water flows through the central opening of
the coarse filter and then passes through the conical microfine filter (Figure
050-16, Item 3). The remainder passes directly through the large surface
area fine filter (Figure 050-16, Item 2), which contains a small hole for
ventilation of the suction area of the circulation pump. Both partial currents
are continually redistributed via constant circulation in the cabinet, so that all
suds flow through the microfine filter. Soil that is retained by the microfine
filter either collects there or falls onto the filter cap where it will eventually be
flushed out by the drain pump.
The crown coarse filter (Figure 050-16, Item 1) is attached to the filter
combination handle. If dispensed powder detergent should fall into the
microfine filter, it remains on the filter cap where it can dissolve. This prevents
it from collecting in the drain outlet. Foreign objects which pass the crown

2.19 Drain Pump

Drain pump M8 is driven by a synchronous motor and is located under the
cabinet on the left next to the sump. It is directly activated by the electronic. In
case of fault, drain pump M8 can be directly activated via overflow float
switch B8/3. The drain pump pumps the suds via the non-return valve and the
drain hose to the on-site drain.
Drain pump M8 extracts water from below the microfine filter. This reverses
the direction of flow through the microfine filter that normally exists during the
dishwashing cycle. Soil particles that have been trapped in the filter during
dishwashing are then flushed out with the drain water.
Pump capacity:
 Max. 13'1" hose length
 Max. 3'3" head height
Most faults will cause the program in operation to be interrupted and the drain
pump to start.
If the WaterProof System has been activated (Fault Code F70, Section 080-3.33),
the drain pump continues to run even after the appliance has been shut off. In this
case, the pump is switched off only when the main power cable is unplugged or by
removing water from the drip pan.
The drain pump of has a rated output of 32W. The flow rate is 6 liters per
minute (3 liters per minute nominal) at 1m pump head height and 4m hose
length. The applied voltage is the nominal rated voltage minus 15% (Vnom -
15%).

This starts with 30 seconds of drainage which begins with pulsed priming
(2 seconds on/2 seconds off). The water inlet valve is then activated (on
models with and without slide shutter) until 1.4 gallons (5.4 liters) has
been taken in. At the same time the water inlet valve is activated, the
slide shutter is set to the middle spray arm position. The circulation pump
with switched auxiliary winding is then operated. If a spray arm fault is
registered during circulation pump operation, the pump is switched off
after 60 seconds; otherwise, it operates for a further 120 seconds.
(Models with spray-arm sensing only.)
18. A2, Drying Plus (automatic door lock latch): In the home position, door
contact switch S24 must be closed. After the component test begins, the
latch extends until it reaches position 3 (drying position), while the door
lock remains locked. Then, door contact switch S24 must be opened, and
the latch moves to position 2 (door open). The door must be closed, and

117
 G 5xxx
Technical Information
the latch is completely retracted until position 1 (door closed) is reached.
Finally, the door lock is locked. (Diamond, Dimension Plus only.)

Warning!
Incognito (fully integrated) models: If for service purposes the door
switch has been bypassed and the see-through door installed, the
locking bar must be pushed back into its home position before the door
is closed. If this is not done, the hinge spring will be damaged and the
entire AutoOpen drive assembly will have to be replaced.

2.3 Machine Response Following a Power Failure

Following a power failure, a program automatically continues from the point
at which it was interrupted.

2.4 Turbo Function (Select Models)

The Turbo function can be selected by the customer under Extras.
An increase in the wash temperature (+9°F), the final rinse temperature
(+3.6°F) and the circulation pump pressure (see Section 050-2.11) can
shorten the duration of certain programs without diminishing washing and
drying performance.
Shorter times:
The shorter times resulting from the selection of Turbo vary from standard
running times by 20 to 30 percent, depending on the program.
Water consumption:
Water consumption is the same in the Light Soiling and Express programs.
In other programs such as Normal, Heavy Soil or Pots and Pans, water
consumption is even slightly reduced, because the pre-wash step is skipped.
Energy consumption:
Energy consumption increases by approximately 0.2 kilowatt-hours, as the
suds in the wash cycle, for example, are heated to a higher temperature (+9°F).
The Turbo function is activated in the Sensor Wash, Express, Light
Soiling, Normal, Heavy Soil and Pots and Pans programs.
The Turbo function is not activated in the special programs (such as
Starch/Cheese) as shortening the running times would contradict the specific
goal of the special application. It is also not activated in glassware programs
(the focus here is on the protection of glassware, and the increased wash and
rinse temperatures would contradict this) or the Economy program
(resource-saving washing is the key aspect here and the increased energy
consumption in the Turbo function would contradict this).
Note:
When the Turbo function is selected, the GlassCare LED (if applicable) does not
light up, even in programs under 122°F. With Turbo the emphasis is clearly on
speed and not on gentle treatment.

118

Technical Information
2.5 SensorDry Feature
Recirculation Turbothermic drying is based on the taking in of cool ambient
air to condense the moist, warm air in the cabinet interior. The optimal drying
effect is achieved at 73°F with a full load.
The SensorDry function ensures that good drying results are achieved in the
Sensor Wash program, regardless of ambient temperature or load size.
These factors can normally have a positive or a negative effect on drying
results.
Before the program begins (before water intake), the ambient temperature
is measured by temperature sensor R30 (in the sump) and saved in the
electronic. If the ambient temperature changes after the start of the program
(for example, when a window is opened), this is not taken into account.
If the measured ambient temperature is below 73°F, the condenser or side
panel is cooled further, resulting in the air in the cabinet being dehumidified to
a greater extent. If the measured ambient temperature is above 73°F, the
opposite applies: The condenser or side panel is cooled less and, as a
consequence, the air in the cabinet is also dehumidified to a lesser extent.
Note:
With an ambient temperature greater than or equal to 82°F, maximum
values are always set for rinse aid dispensing amount and temperature, as
well as fan running time.
The second influential factor is the load size. The drying efficiency
classification is based on a standard load (12 standard place settings). A
smaller load can have a negative impact on drying results because the larger
the load, the greater the heat transfer. The load size is established during the
final rinse. Here, an indirect measurement is taken depending on the rise in
temperature per minute in the temperature range of 113 to 140°F. The larger
the load in the machine, the longer it takes for the desired final rinse
temperature to be reached. Heater performance always remains at a
constant level, but every additional item in the load binds more heat energy
and this extends the heating time.
The SensorDry function can affect certain parameters as follows:
 Final rinse temperature: The final rinse temperature lies in the
temperature range of 144 to 158°F, depending on the situation.
 Rinse aid dispensing: In addition to the customer selection, 0.03 to 0.09
fluid ounces (1 to 3 milliliters) may be dispensed.
 Fan operating time: The fan operating time can be between 17 and 35
minutes.
The following scenarios are possible:
1. Low ambient temperature - Large load: Optimal conditions for optimal
drying results. The fan operating time can be shortened, the final rinse
temperature is reduced, and no additional rinse aid is dispensed.
2. High ambient temperature - Small load: Unfavorable conditions for
optimal drying results. The fan operating time is extended, the final rinse

119
 G 5xxx
Technical Information
temperature is increased and additional rinse aid is dispensed.
3. High ambient temperature - Large load: The positive effects of a large
load on drying results are canceled out by the high ambient temperature.
The fan operating time remains unchanged, the final rinse temperature is
increased and the quantity of rinse aid dispensed remains unchanged.
4. Low ambient temperature - Small load: The positive effects of low
room temperature on drying results are canceled out by the small load.
The fan operating time remains unchanged, the final rinse temperature
is increased and the quantity of rinse aid dispensed is increased.

2.6 Drying Plus Function

See Section 020-2.4.

Note:
The customer can deactivate the Drying plus function in the Settings menu.
Drying plus is inoperative in the following programs:
 Rinse & Hold
 Express
 Glassware cold
 Glassware warm

2.8 “Extra Quiet” Program (MPPW Only)

For the “Extra Quiet” program, all program parameters are adjusted so that a
noise level of 38dB is never exceeded. In the main wash step, for example, 6
soak cycles are included. In addition, circulation pump speed is reduced so
that noise reduction can be fully optimized. As a result, program duration is
increased to over 4 hours.

2.10 Demo Mode

The appliance is equipped with up to five different demo programs
(depending on model) for showrooms.
The operation and functions of the appliance are demonstrated in the Demo
mode and Endless demo mode programs. These show the operating
structure by means of some examples. They show, among other things, how
wash programs are selected, how related background information is
accessed, how extra options are programmed and how the timer function is
set. In the Trade show demo program, initial commissioning in the display
can be suppressed.
In the Demo with sound program, the circulation pump is activated to
demonstrate the wash noise. If there is water in the machine, the circulation
pump runs until the program is interrupted. If there is no water in the
machine, the circulation pump is switched off again immediately after
activation. Also, the spray arm alternation function is demonstrated - first the
middle spray arm and then the top and bottom spray arms are supplied
alternately with water.
In the Drying Plus demo program, the door is automatically opened in order
to demonstrate the Drying Plus function. (Models with Drying Plus only.)
To put the appliance into demo mode, access the service programming mode
(Section 080-4.1) then select Showroom program.

Technical Information
3.9 Fault Code F01: Water/Heating NTC or Leads Short-Circuited
Symptom:
After this fault is registered, the heating will not be activated and rinse aid will
not be dispensed.
Cause:
NTC temperature sensor R30 or its connection leads short-circuited.
Remedy:
1. Check the temperature sensor and its leads for continuity. At 68°F (20°C),
the temperature sensor resistance should be approximately 14.9kΩ
(± 750Ω); at 77°F (25°C), approximately 12kΩ (± 600Ω) (guide figures only).
2. Check the plug connections.
3. Replace the temperature sensor, if necessary. See Section 050-4.20.

3.10 Fault Code F02: Water/Heating NTC or Leads Open-Circuited

Symptom:
After this fault is registered, the heating will not be activated and rinse aid will
not be dispensed.
Cause:
NTC temperature sensor R30 or its connection leads open-circuited.
Remedy:
1. Check the temperature sensor and its leads for continuity. At 68°F (20°C),
the temperature sensor resistance should be approximately 14.9kΩ
(± 750Ω); at 77°F (25°C), approximately 12kΩ (± 600Ω) (guide figures only).
2. Check the plug connections.
3. Replace the temperature sensor, if necessary. See Section 050-4.20.

3.11 Fault Code F11: Drainage Fault

Symptom:
Water present in appliance and is not being drained off.
Background information:
After each drain pump step, the circulation pump operates for 2 seconds and
heater pressure switch B1/13 checks the water level. See Figure 080-6. If it is
too high (large quantity of residual water remaining in the cabinet), the
drainage time is extended. If, after a further check, the water level is still too
high, then the program is interrupted, the fault code is saved and the drain
pump is activated.

 G 5xxx
Technical Information

Figure 080-6: Circuit Test Path for F11

Fault code F11 is also registered if heater relay 1K1 is not activated after the
fault code F51 register check; see Section 080-3.27.
Cause:
Drain hose kinked.
Remedy:
Check the drain hose for correct positioning.
Cause:
Drain blocked.
Remedy:
Check for proper water flow from the drain line by performing the following
procedure:
1. Disconnect drain line from drain trap, garbage disposal, or drain pipe and
place in bucket or large container.
2. Ensure that adequate water is in the dishwasher cabinet. Select and start
a new wash program (first step should be a 30-second drain). Ensure that
the drain hose is held in place within the bucket or container.
3. If water flows from the drain hose, the dishwasher is not the cause of the
blockage. Blockage is in the piping and should be checked by a
specialist.
If water does not flow from the drain hose, then check the filters.
1. Clean the on-site drain.
2. Check the sump drain.
3. Check the filters for blockage.
4. Check the heater pressure switch and replace it, if necessary. See
Section 050-4.16.
Cause:
Ball in non-return valve in sump has not opened (e.g., jammed).
Remedy:
Check the non-return valve for blockage; clean or replace as necessary.
Clean the non-return valve in the sump or replace it if necessary.

128
G 5xxx

Technical Information
Cause:
Drain pump defective.
Remedy:
With the non-return valve removed, check the drain pump for proper
operation by performing the following steps:
1. Check the drain pump impeller blades for proper rotation. If stuck, look for
foreign objects blocking impeller blades. If impeller blades are jammed
and no foreign objects are found, proceed to the next step.
2. Remove the lower service door panel.
3. Operate the dishwasher in a drain step.
4. Check for power at the drain pump. If pump is receiving power, then
replace the drain pump. If not, check wiring from electronic to the drain
pump. Replace or repair as necessary (Section 050-4.17).
Cause:
Foreign objects in heater pressure switch.
Remedy:
Check the heater pressure switch for blockages and correct switching point.
Ensure that the contacts are in the correct position after a drain step. Replace
if necessary. See Section 050-4.16.
Cause:
Heater relay defective.
Heater relay (coil or contacts) becomes defective during the drainage step
(after fault code F51 register check).
Remedy:
Replace the heater relay. See Section 050-4.10.

3.12 Fault Code F12: Water Intake Fault at Start of Step

Symptom:
During the first 5 seconds of any water intake step, at least 15 pulses from
flow meter B3/4 should be registered. If this given number of pulses is not
detected, the display reads Water inlet fault and/or “Intake/Drain” LED
flashes (depending on model). The water inlet valve will be activated at 10-
second intervals for one hour. The drain pump will also be activated at
intervals to prevent the possibility of the appliance overflowing. All other
components remain inactive. If these attempts to achieve the minimum pulse
rate fail, the buzzer is activated for 2 minutes.
Cause:
On-site shutoff valve (water supply) closed.
Remedy:
Open the shutoff valve.
Cause:
On-site water supply not in order (water pressure below 14.5 pounds per
square inch).

129
 G 5xxx
Technical Information
Remedy:
The on-site water supply should be checked by a specialist.
Cause:
Flow meter B3/4 is not providing any pulses.
Remedy:
1. Remove the left side panel (Section 010-4.1).
2. Check that the circuit board with reed switch on flow meter B3/4 is seated
correctly.
3. Check that the reed switch connection plug is seated correctly.
4. Replace the reed switch, if necessary. See Section 050-4.7.
5. Check the flow meter for pulses.
a. While the appliance is in operation and no pulses are delivered, take a
magnet and pass it over the reed switch. If a pulse is then delivered,
replace the water diverter. If no pulse, replace the reed switch.
b. While the appliance is in operation and pulses are delivered,
reconnect the electrical connector to the electronic board, clear the
fault and operate the appliance. If an F12 is still displayed, replace the

3.14 Fault Code F14: Water Intake Fault: Heater Pressure Switch
Symptom:
The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated.
Background information: With the circulation pump operating after a water
intake step, the heater pressure switch is checked to ensure that sufficient
water pressure exists in the wash water circuit. For this the heater relay must
have been activated.
Cause:
During a heating step the heater pressure switch may have registered no or
insufficient water pressure at the circulation pump.
Remedy:
1. Check the dispensing of detergent and rinse aid. Excessive foam
development means that the pressure at the heater pressure switch will
be reduced.
2. Check for correct water level within the machine (water level should be
just under the filter arm). See Section 050-4.29.
3. Check all filters for blockages.
4. Check if the circulation pump is defective by performing the following steps:
a. Open the dishwasher door and insert the yellow bypass tool into the
latching mechanism.
b. Turn on the dishwasher and select and start a wash program.
c. After the 30-second drain step, pay attention to the lower spray arm.
As water enters the cabinet the circulation pump should be operating,
increasing the water flow pressure. There should be a small stream of
water coming out of the lower spray arm.
Warning!
Keep both hands on the door handle while performing this test. If water
begins to flow out of the lower spray arm, press the door handle to pop
the bypass tool out of the door lock and shut off the machine. If this is
not done, there is the danger of water spraying out of the dishwasher.
d. If water is flowing out of the spray arm, the circulation pump is
operating and there is no blockage. Press the door handle to pop the
bypass tool out of the door lock.
e. If there is no water, continue troubleshooting.
Cause:
Heater pressure switch B1/13 defective or blocked by foreign objects.
Remedy:
1. Check the heater pressure switch.
2. Check the connection plug and wiring harness.
3. Replace the heater pressure switch, if necessary. See Section 050-4.16.

133
 G 5xxx

3. Replace the reed switch, if necessary (Section 050-4.7).
4. Check the control lead from the electronic to flow meter B3/4.
5. Remove the water diverter and replace if necessary. See Section 050-4.12.
Cause:
Circulation pump winding overheated; winding protection has cut out.
Remedy:
Replace the circulation pump. See Section 050-4.13.
Cause:
After a water intake step, heater pressure switch B1/13 has not opened
switching steps 11–12 and 21–22. This causes the anti-stiction routine to be
started.
Remedy:
Check the heater pressure switch for proper operation by performing the
following steps:
1. Check connection plugs and wiring harness for damage, corrosion or
loose connection.
2. Access service mode (see the separate service mode guide) and select the
component test menu.
3. Select the first test, wash sequence with heating (R1, Y63, M6).
4. Access the control electronic.
5. Using a multimeter, place the probes onto the heater pressure switch sensing
leads off of connector ST5 on the electronic board. During circulation pump
operation no voltage should be read at these points. If 120VAC is measured,
replace the heater pressure switch (Section 050-4.16).
Cause:
Circulation pump capacitor defective.

134
G 5xxx

Technical Information
Remedy:
Check the pump capacitor and replace it if necessary. See Section 050-4.15.

3.15 Fault Code F15: Water Intake Fault - Hot Water

Symptom:
The display reads Intake temperature too low and the status LED flashes
(model-dependent). The program is not interrupted.
Cause:
Intake temperature of the hot-water connection is too cold (below 100°F).
Remedy:
Have the water connection checked by a specialist.

3.16 Fault Code F18: Flow Meter Stationary State Monitor B3/4
Symptom:
The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated.
Background information: The water inlet valve is open when it should not
be (a signal to open it has not been given by the electronic). Water then flows
into the appliance and unexpected pulses from the flow meter are detected.
Unexpected pulses from the flow meter are also detected when the water
inlet valve is not activated.
Cause:
Water inlet valve defective.
Remedy:
Check the water inlet valve for proper operation (may be stuck in open position).
a. Access the water inlet valve.
b. Start a wash program.
c. Wrap one hand around the inlet valve during the water inlet step. There
should be a vibration, which indicates that the valve is energized.
d. At the end of the water inlet step, the valve should be de-energized. If water
is still entering the machine, replace the water inlet valve (Section 050-4.27)
e. Check for interference pulses. Electrical components within the water
diverter could be interfering with the pulses produced by the flow meter.
Troubleshoot accordingly and replace the water diverter, if necessary
(Section 050-4.12).

3.17 Fault Code F19: Flow Meter B3/4 Stiff and Not Turning Freely
Symptom:

of the flow meter impeller could not be established.
Start rinse block water intake:

135
 G 5xxx
Technical Information

Figure 080-7: F19 Start Rinse Block Water Intake

a Measuring time for 0.26 gallons (one liter)
1 Normal water intake time sufficient (1 minute in this example)
2 Extended water intake time required (2 minutes in this example)
3 After 0.26 gallons (one liter) intake, it is clear that neither the normal nor
the extended water intake time will be sufficient. Therefore, the test routine
is started. (See below.)
Test routine:

Figure 080-8: F19 Test Routine

a Measuring time for 0.26 gallons (one liter)
b Test routine successful; water intake time is extended.
c Test routine unsuccessful; fault code F19 is registered.
a. During the first step, water intake solenoid Y63 is activated in order to let
another 0.52 gallons (2 liters) flow into the machine. The required time is
calculated on the basis of the time that the 0.26 gallons of water already
in the machine required for intake.
Note: The volume of water cannot cause the machine to overflow, even if
the flow meter is inaccurate.

136
G 5xxx

Technical Information
Circulation pump M6 is now activated for 2 minutes in order to wet the
dishes in the dishwasher and to fill any spaces with water. Drain pump
M8 is then activated for one minute. This creates a measurement basis
for the actual test.
During the test, water inlet valve Y63 is activated until a defined number
of pulses corresponding to a water volume of approximately 0.37 gallons
(1.4 liters) is reached. Circulation pump M6 is then activated once more.
b. The program continues to run without interruption. The maximum water
intake time is extended to 4 minutes. This time value is saved by the
electronic for future water intake. For future water intakes, if the time
needed for 0.26 gallons to flow into the machine differs by 15 percent, a
new test routine flow will be started.
c. If heater pressure switch B1/13 is activated, the program is interrupted
immediately, the drain pump is operated, and fault F19 is registered.
Cause:
Flow meter defective.
Remedy:
Replace the water diverter. See Section 050-4.12.
Fault F19 will be displayed if the check to test the sluggish movement of the
flow meter (impeller counter) during the water intake is not successful.

3.18 Fault Code F24: Heater Relay Contact

Symptom:
The program is interrupted and the drain pump is operated.
Background information:

Figure 080-9: Circuit Test Path for F24

18 seconds after starting the drain sequence, the electronic will perform an
operational test on the heater relay. The circulation pump is not operating
and no power is applied to the heater relay coil. If 120VAC is registered at
ST5 on the electronic board, then an F24 is logged in memory (see Figure
080-9). When the circulation pump is not operating, the heater relay contacts
are checked. If supply voltage is then applied to the electronic’s inputs, the
fault is registered.

1 Miele Policy on Dishwasher Detergent Requirements

In 2005, we revised our company stance on the use of detergents in our
dishwashers. Up until then we suggested powder detergents. However, with
the generation of dishwashers from 2005 and continuing today, we suggest
that powders, tablets, gels, and gelpacs can be used effectively in all of
our dishwashers. (In fact, in support of this effort, Miele is now selling our
own brand of tablets that can be found at our online store.)
Effective immediately, please begin offering the updated information for
all detergent inquiries. We should no longer be advising our clients, our
dealers, our service companies, or our staff that our dishwashers are "powder
only."

2 Dishwasher Detergents and Phosphates

Dishwasher detergents no longer contain phosphates
In March, 2006, Washington State became the first state in the nation to ban
phosphates from dishwasher detergents. By 2010, 15 other states adopted
this policy and enacted similar bans. Faced with this growing dilemma, the
major dishwasher detergent manufacturers agreed to stop producing
phosphate-laden detergents by July, 2010. The quantity of the active
ingredient, STPP, sodium tripolyphosphate, was reduced from nearly 35% by
weight down to 0.5% by weight.
Why use phosphates?
As a detergent additive, STPP is really the key ingredient. Phosphates help
remove food and grease, keep insoluble dirt in suspension, maintain proper
pH, reduce the risk of corrosion, and keep food and other particles from
depositing on surfaces inside the dishwasher. Along with doing the lion’s
share of the work, STPP is also a cost-effective additive in detergents.
Why ban phosphates?
Phosphorus is one of many elements essential to life. When phosphorus gets
into fresh water, it acts like a fertilizer for algae. When the bumper crop of
algae later dies, its decomposition consumes oxygen in the water. Reduced
levels of dissolved oxygen in water are harmful to fish. Excess levels of
phosphorus can lead to widespread fish kills. In reality, the majority of
phosphorus pollution can be attributed to heavy industry, mining operations,
fertilizer and animal waste runoff from agriculture, and to a much lesser
extent, effluent from sewage treatment plants containing trace amounts from
– you guessed it – dishwasher detergents.

Dishwashing problems without phosphates
After the removal of phosphates from all major brands of dishwasher
detergents in July 2010, it took about 6 months for existing store stocks to sell
out. It’s no wonder that starting in 2011, consumer complaints grew at an
alarming rate. Some of these complaints are:
Dishes no longer shine
Gritty film left on glasses and plates
Silverware turning black
Food particles remaining on silverware and dishes
White film & deposits on dishwasher surfaces
Destruction of non-stick surfaces
What to do?
These problems are being experienced by dishwasher owners all over the
country. All brands and all models are affected. Our MieleCare brand
detergents, also phosphate free, have been the cause of relatively few
complaints, so they can be recommended as a possible solution. Other
detergent manufacturers are looking for new, environmentally friendly
additives, but until they find one, there is no easy answer. See the following

3 G 5000 Inlet Hoses; Update

There is a new inlet hose available for the G 5000 dishwashers. The inlet
hose/inlet valve assembly has been updated with a new part number.
07934070 will no longer be available – 07934071 (or higher) should be used
exclusively.
The difference: The new hoses have a stainless-steel braid on the exterior.
On the old hoses, this braid was plastic. The new hose is stronger and much
less likely to suffer damage from sharp objects, kinking, etc.
Replacing the hose: Any time you find that the outer plastic braid is
damaged in any way, the hose assembly should be replaced. A damaged
braid can lead to hose failure. In all cases, the hose and valve should be
replaced as a complete assembly. The hose and valve are assembled at the
factory, and they are matched and torqued to prevent the chance of any
leaks.
After replacement: All damaged hoses or failed valves must be returned to
Princeton. Mark the parts with the AMS order number as well as the model
and serial number. Send the parts to the attention of Engineering Services.

4 G 5775 Fascia Panel Mounting
This is a possible series fault: 11235
In some cases, either after service or during operation, it is no longer possible
to secure the fascia panel to the door of the dishwasher. This is because the
plastic mounting channels on the power/control unit frame have broken or
chipped away (see first photo). Currently there is a repair kit available to re-
attach the fascia and electronic. Use part number 09852170.
When encountering this issue, be sure to mark the bulletin number when
closing the AMS order.

The repair kit is a metal bracket that links the electronic and fascia panel.
Detailed instructions are packed with the kit. There is normally no need to
replace the electronic or fascia.
