Is your Miele dishwasher acting up? Performing a hard reset can often solve problems like non-responsiveness or program errors. This guide will walk you through the process of resetting your Miele dishwasher, ensuring it continues to function efficiently.
Steps to Perform a Hard Reset
Step 1: Turn Off the Power
Ensure safety first by disconnecting your dishwasher from the power source. You can do this by either unplugging it or shutting off the power at your home’s circuit breaker.
Step 2: Wait for the Reset
After the power is disconnected, wait for approximately 1 minute. This pause is crucial as it allows the dishwasher’s internal circuitry to reset.
Step 3: Restore Power
Reconnect your dishwasher to the power source. You can plug it back in or turn on the circuit breaker.
Step 4: Run a Test Cycle
Once power is restored, run a test cycle without any dishes to ensure everything is working correctly. This step will help you verify that the reset was successful.
