Product review (1 stars): This dishwasher is great to start
This dishwasher is great to start. Less than a year later the soap container door will not close. There is a TINY bit of plastic that will eventually wear and or break off. And yes, ours broke off. 200 plus to fix. It will happen again too! So that was the first issue. Then, even with constant cleaning of the filter and the area around it, at the bottom of the wash box, and I do mean constant, once a week, it is a regular weekend chore. We leave white vinegar in the bottom to soak overnight and then scrub the parts in the morning. Now the intake valve, the ONE YOU CAN'T GET TO TO GET IT CLEAN, is ceased up and it won't spin.  A guy found on you tube has made a special tool out of a fork he divised to reach it. The machine is not old enough for these problems. If you are looking for a care free dishwasher this one is not for you, in fact if you google "Miele intake drain issues" you will find many other people with the same problem. The machine beeps partway through the cycle, the beep is not the simple beep beep chirp at the end of a cycle which by the way won't stop until you go turn it off, when the machine beeps endlessly then you know you have something going on in the intake drain. By the way: We use the Miele rinse aid more expensive than grocery store brands, we use the Miele salts, we have great water. I never remember my moms machine needing so much care! This machine is SO expensive and is SO awful.
