My Miele dishwasher does not get the plastic refridgerator items dry

This is a universal characteristic if using the 'energy saver' or other heatless drying cycle. Unless using a drying aid plastic items keep large drops of water on them which take much longer to dry.

If you disassembly the front face, at the left hand side of the control panel, you'll find a small plastic bag with a typical schematic/wiring manual of the dishwasher "G 1832 SCi"

Plastic items do not get dry because they do not get as hot as glassware. A lot of moisture inside is do to the evaporation of water on the dishes during the dry cycle. Some water remains in the dishwasher because it is impossible to pump all of it out. There is nothing wrong with your dishwasher.

I found that PDF while working on fixing my Miele dishwasher and found it more helpful then most advice on the web.

Hi there,
Here is a link to the manual for the miele g665 dishwasher: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/miele-g665-manual

F70, waterproof system activated. this means you have water in the bottom pan of the dishwasher. your miele shuts itself off and runs the drain pump continuously any time water leaking is detected. you can pull out the black plastic toe kick under the door. there is a cover panel in the center held on with two t20 screws. you can dry up the water and try to run a cycle. if it works ok, cut back on your detergent by 1/2. if it leaks again, you should probably request service from miele. if you want to try to repair it yourself, let me know and I will help you troubleshoot it further.

Hi,

Make sure you are using rinse aid. even if you are using tablets which has rinse aid built into the tablets Miele still recommend using rinse aid liquid as well.
Make sure you have the rinse aid setting on 3ml

Plastic will not dry as well as plates as it doesn't hold the heat.

You could call out a Miele service tech if it is still under warranty and he would be able to increase the drying time through his computer.

Hope this helps.

No recall.
You should use water temp 120 to 150 F, and make sure you use rinse aid (such as Jet Dry). Plastic items (like cheap advertising cups or storage containers) do not have enough mass to retain heat and dry very well. Item with more mass (glass and metal items) will dry as long as you conform to listed perameters listed above.

#1 plastic dishes cups etc will rarely completely dry
check your heater, check for continuity on the heater it should ohm out.
does the heater get hot?
are you running hot water at the sink before pushing the start button?
are you using a rinse agent such as jet dry?
