Your Miele dishwasher requires thorough attention if it has been used for a long time. Unluckily, even appliances that last less than several years may need professional assistance when maintenance is incorrect. Often, the owners deal with a soap dispenser issue - it doesn’t stay closed. When you place powder or pod detergents in that tiny sealed compartment before washing, your dishwasher might not properly dispense it. There might not be enough water flowing into the compartment to dissolve and dispense the soap adequately. A quick fix is to use less detergent or to use a liquid detergent instead. If that doesn’t help, your problem might be the compartment itself—it may be stuck or coated with excess detergent, keeping it from opening correctly when the dishwasher runs. Take a look at the dishes’ position inside the washer as well. Sometimes certain dishes can block the detergent compartment and force it to stay shut once the washer is closed. Next, take a look at the latch mechanism. If it is clean and free of detergent buildup you can look closely at how the grooves are supposed to fit together and what the locked position might look like. You can test this by closely observing how the latch closes or was meant to close in the first place. You may find that a small piece of food is obstructing the latch or that the latch no longer works the way it should. Causes for latch troubles might include brittle plastic from an older latch breaking off or possibly even a break from having too much force applied while the mechanism was dirty with old detergent. Your latch may also be bent out of shape or even simply worn away so that the catch no longer has anything to catch on to. Don’t risk your Miele dishwasher safety and delegate issue solutions to the professionals.
