Resetting the Miele dishwasher is not an uncommon task that owners of these appliances are sometimes required to do. 

Yes, you can reset a Miele dishwasher. In fact, it takes only a few minutes to complete the entire reset process and you don’t need any special tools.

To reset the dishwasher, you will just need to first make sure it is turned on. Then press and hold the Start button until the red light on the display blinks. When this occurs, release the button and then press the Power button. This will turn the dishwasher off. Once off, press the Power button one more to turn the machine back on.

Is There A Reset Button On A Miele Dishwasher?

Reset buttons are a common thing on appliances. When pressed, they can help clear codes and correct small glitches the appliance may be experiencing. But do Miele dishwashers have reset buttons?

There is no actual reset button on a Miele dishwasher, but that doesn’t mean you cannot reset the appliance. Resetting the Miele dishwasher can be done but it requires pressing and holding a few different buttons in different sequences.

How To Factory Reset Miele Dishwasher

If you have changed any settings on the dishwasher, you can restore the appliance back to its factory settings by completing the factory reset process.

To factory reset the Miele dishwasher, turn the dishwasher off and then press the Start button while also switching the dishwasher on. Make sure to keep the Start button pressed down for 4 seconds. The Start indicator light will come on, which signals to continue with the factory reset process.

Once the indicator light comes on, press the clock button 19 times. This will cause the clock indicator light to have a long flash followed by 9 short flashes. The dishwasher has been reset to factory settings. Turn the dishwasher off when you are done.

How To Reset Miele Dishwasher Check Filters

It is not uncommon to forget about these filters, especially since they are usually tucked away out of sight. Without them being front and center every time we use the dishwasher, it can be easy to overlook maintaining them. Thankfully, the check filters code reminds you that your Miele dishwasher does in fact have filters and they need regular maintenance. Once you have them checked or replaced, you can clear that code. 

You can reset the Miele dishwasher check filters code by pressing the right arrow button located on the control panel of the dishwasher. Keep this button pressed down for about 15 seconds. After this allotted time, release the button. The check filter code should be cleared. 

Never clear the code without first checking and/or changing the filters. This code helps to alert you that something may be wrong with the filter. If you merely clear it without first checking the filters, then it defeats the purpose of this indicator. 

How To Do Miele Dishwasher Intake Drain Reset

When your Miele dishwasher shows an intake drain code on the display panel, it is not something to be taken lightly. This code can be caused by a number of problems, all of which will need to be addressed as soon as possible. In most cases, however, the issue can be fixed by simply removing and cleaning the filter located at the bottom of the dishwasher. Once you have the problem fixed, you can reset the intake drain code to remove it from the display.

Press and hold the Program button for several seconds until the Intake/Drain light comes on. Release the Program button for a moment and then press and hold it down once again until the SaniWash light turns off.

Miele Dishwasher Reset Code

Miele dishwashers have various codes that they can display on their display panel. These codes are how the appliance communicates to you that something is wrong. It could be as simple as letting you know the cycle is complete or something more serious, such as the appliance has detected a leak. No matter what the reason for the code, sometimes they seem to stay stuck on the display even after the problem is fixed. Thankfully, you can clear these codes fairly easily by resetting the dishwasher. 

To reset a Miele dishwasher reset code, press and hold the right arrow located on the control panel. Keep the button pressed down for about 15 seconds. This will remove and reset the error code.

Keep in mind that you shouldn’t clear these codes without first investigating the problem. The entire reason for the codes is to let you know when something is amidst with the appliance. If you simply reset the codes to just get them off the display without first fixing the problem, then you could be faced with a costly repair bill.

How To Do Miele Dishwasher Salt Reset

The “replenish salt” message that appears on your Meile dishwasher lets you know that the salt reservoir is empty, or close to it, and needs refilled.

To complete the Miele dishwasher salt reset, you will need to first add salt to the reservoir and then confirm the action. This is done by locating the three buttons on the panel display and then pressing and holding the middle button. The message will disappear when reset.

Before clearing the “replenish salt” message on your dishwasher, make sure to refill the salt reservoir. Once this has been done, you can then clear the replenish salt message. Keep in mind that the message may still stay on the screen if you didn’t place enough salt into the reservoir. The salt will need to reach the correct level before the message goes away on its own.

How To Do Miele Dishwasher Waterproof Fault Reset

When your dishwasher shows a “waterproof fault” notification, that means the appliance has detected a leak somewhere in the dishwasher.

If your Miele dishwasher shows a waterproof fault error code, you will need to immediately turn off the dishwasher and then contact Miele customer service.

While it may be tempting to try to merely reset this error code, that doesn’t fix the actual problem. Ignoring a waterproof fault code can lead to expensive water damage to your home, as well as damage to the dishwasher itself.

How To Reset Miele Dishwasher Timer

Some models of Miele dishwashers have a timer that lets you delay or set the time when you want the dishwasher to start the operating process. Sometimes, however, things come up and you need to delete or reset the timer. Thankfully, this can easily be completed in a few moments. 

Reset the Miele dishwasher timer by deleting pre programmed set times. Press the FlexiTimer button, which looks like a clock, and then use the up and down arrow buttons to select either Change or Delete. Confirm the function by selecting okay.

The FlexiTimer indicator light will turn off and the Start indicator light will shine when the reset has occurred.

How To Reset Dishwasher Cycle

Resetting a dishwasher cycle is a simple process that can help start the entire cycle over again. 

Reset the dishwasher cycle by first turning the appliance off. Once off, press the power button to turn it back on and then hold down the Start button until a red light blinks. Once this occurs, release the Start button and then press and hold down the power button.

This will turn the appliance off. Once the dishwasher turns off again, press the Start button once more to turn the dishwasher back on. The dishwasher cycle has now been reset and the washing process can now be restarted. 

How To Reset Miele Dishwasher Clock

The clock on your dishwasher isn’t just for telling you the time, it is also needed in order for the FlexiTimer to work properly.

Reset the Miele dishwasher clock by navigating to the clock settings on the display panel and then select clock format. Choose between 24 hour or 12 hour display and confirm the selection by clicking on Okay. Set the time using the up and down arrow buttons.

The up and down arrow buttons let you change the hour and minutes on the clock. Once you have the correct time selected, confirm this information by clicking Okay. The dishwasher clock has now been reset to the correct time.

To reset a Miele dishwasher fuse you must first replace the fuse. Since the type of fuse, where it is located, and how to replace it can vary greatly from one model to the next, it is best to refer to your dishwasher’s owners’ manual for assistance.

If you’re unsure of where the fuse is located, feel uncomfortable replacing it, or cannot find your owners’ manual, reach out to Miele customer service. They can assist you with locating the fuse, as well as give info on how to replace it. Keep in mind, however, that you should never try to replace a fuse without first disconnecting the appliance from its power supply.
