Why Is My Miele Dishwasher Stopping Mid-Cycle?
A dishwasher that stops mid-cycle may display an error code when it stops. Always check the display first as this will help identify the fault.
Common Causes
Drainage fault
If the machine cannot drain at the correct point in the cycle, it will stop. Check the filter and drain hose.
Water inlet fault
If the machine cannot fill with water when required, it will stop the cycle.
Door latch fault
If the door latch fails mid-cycle, the machine will stop as a safety precaution.
Overheating
A thermal overload can stop the machine if it overheats.
Power supply issue
A loose connection or tripped circuit breaker can cause the machine to cut out.
Control board fault
A faulty control board can cause erratic behaviour including stopping mid-cycle.
Checks To Try Before Calling An Engineer
Check the display for error codes
Note any error code displayed when the machine stops.
Clean the filter
A blocked filter is a common cause of mid-cycle stops. Remove and clean it thoroughly.
Check the door latch
Ensure the door is properly latched and the latch mechanism is not worn or damaged.
Check the power supply
Ensure the plug is fully inserted and the circuit breaker has not tripped.
Reset the machine
Switch off at the mains, unplug for a few minutes, then try again.

When To Contact A Professional
