Miele Dishwasher Rinse Aid Error Code

What it means

The rinse-aid or salt indicator is illuminated; this can be normal after adding salt or when using combination detergent tablets.

Try this first

  1. After adding salt, allow time for it to dissolve; the Salt indicator can remain lit temporarily and should clear on its own.
  2. When using X-in-1 combination tablets, enable the X-in-1 function if available and use a 55-degree or Automatic program.
  3. If the dishwasher has no X-in-1 function, the indicator may remain lit while combination tablets are used.
  4. For best results, Miele recommends using detergent, rinse aid, and salt separately and keeping enough rinse aid and salt in the machine to keep the water softener active.
