The machine runs, the tub empties, and dishes still come out dirty. Wash coverage, loading and circulation need assessment — a different investigation from standing water.
Where the poor result appears is informative. One rack, or one area of it, points toward coverage: a spray arm obstructed by a tall item or handle, or partially blocked jets. A poor result across the whole load points toward overall flow, filter condition, or a programme and detergent unsuited to the soil.
Drying is not washing: clean but wet items belong to a separate discussion of programme, rinse aid and load. KONGRA LLC is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or authorized by Miele; diagnosis is a paid on-site visit followed by a written estimate.
These are categories to narrow the question before a visit, not a remote diagnosis. Confirmation requires on-site measurement.
Observations and the routine care described in your own model's manual. No tools, panels or power.
The more of this arrives up front, the more useful the first visit is.
These details are optional and help us prepare for your visit.
During a San Jose service visit, the center spray arm and water supply tubes were found unsecured, with debris and blocked nozzles restricting circulation. The technician secured the spray arm and tubes, cleaned the assembly and drain pump, and tested the dishwasher. The record confirms normal circulation and drainage during that test.
The useful point is sequence: seating and actual water flow deserve checking before an expensive component is assumed to have failed. One documented case, not a universal procedure.
No. Washing depends on water reaching the load with enough flow and coverage; drying depends on programme, load and rinse aid. Describe them separately.
No. Blocked jets, a spray arm that cannot turn, loading, filter condition or an unsuitable programme can all reduce cleaning. Component failure is confirmed by measurement.
Once your model's routine care, loading, programme and detergent have been rechecked without change. A model-specific assessment of flow and circulation is the next step.
