How to Clean a Drain Line of a Miele Dishwasher?

When your dishwasher is malfunctioning, the issue often concerns a drain line. It can clog slowly as the problem reveals with the time. And the owner might use the dishwasher without a clue it’s functioning improperly. But be sure, the unit loses its efficiency in case of the clogged drain line. Fortunately, the issue may be eliminated easily. Most likely, you will be able to do it yourself. Miele dishwashers are produced to be economical and save water and energy. Still, bad maintenance can break even the most reliable and high rated appliance. Your Miele dishwasher drain hose connects the drain pump to your garbage disposal, air gap, or sink drain to deposit dirty water. Given the position of this hose under the sink or behind the dishwasher, it can bend and prevent water from draining. Check the hose for bends or kinks, gently straightening it if needed. Loosen the drain hose clamp with a screwdriver and disconnect the hose from the dishwasher. Use a bowl if the dishwasher drain hose has water in it. Disconnect the other end of the drain hose under the sink by loosening the clamp and pulling it off of the hose connection. This connection may be part of the sink drain or it may be located on the garbage disposal. If the clog cannot be reached through the drain pump connection, replace the hose and attempt to reach it via the disposal’s connection. If the blockage still cannot be reached the drain hose should be replaced. If your Miele dishwasher won’t drain even after these troubleshooting tips then it’s possible the drain pump has malfunctioned, requiring professional replacement. Arrange an annual maintenance visit to prevent the issue with your drain line.
