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
- After adding salt, allow time for it to dissolve; the Salt indicator can remain lit temporarily and should clear on its own.
- When using X-in-1 combination tablets, enable the X-in-1 function if available and use a 55-degree or Automatic program.
- If the dishwasher has no X-in-1 function, the indicator may remain lit while combination tablets are used.
- 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.
