What you can check
Turn the appliance off and shut the stopcock. There is no other owner step; leave the plug in the socket so leak protection stays active.
When to call a technician
A reaction of the leak protection needs a service visit, so arrange one once the appliance is off and the stopcock is closed.
Do this
Turn the appliance off.
Shut the stopcock.
Contact Miele Service.
Good to know
Leak protection stays active when the unit is off, provided the plug remains in the socket and power is connected.
In the G 7000 and G 5000 manual, Miele attaches three conditions to that protection: a correct installation, regular upkeep with damaged parts swapped out, and a closed water faucet whenever nobody is home for a longer stretch, say on vacation.
In the Miami, New York, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego metro areas, call (844) 459-5005 for Miele dishwasher help; dishwasher repair gives an overview. Keep the model number and what the display showed ready.
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
