This document outlines the service mode functionalities for Miele G 1xxx and G 2xxx series dishwashers, covering various models such as Inspira, Advanta, Optima, Excella, and LaPerla. The service mode provides access to diagnostic and maintenance features, allowing technicians to check software versions, review and clear fault memories, perform component tests, and check operating hours.
The service mode is a diagnostic interface designed to assist technicians in troubleshooting and maintaining Miele dishwashers. It allows for a systematic check of the appliance's internal functions and provides insights into its operational history and any recorded malfunctions. The core functions accessible through service mode include:
Software Version ID Check: This function allows technicians to verify the software version installed on the appliance's electronic control units. Depending on the model, it displays the ID numbers of the BAE (selection-display electronic) and SLT (control-power electronic) in consecutive digits. This is crucial for ensuring compatibility with service updates or for diagnosing issues related to outdated software.
Display and Delete Fault Memory: This is a critical diagnostic feature. The dishwasher's control system records fault codes when errors occur. In service mode, technicians can access this fault memory to view a list of all registered fault codes. For models with a display, the fault code number is shown alternately with an "F" indicator. If multiple faults are present, they are displayed sequentially. If the fault memory is empty, an "F" and an "I" (or "0") are displayed alternately, or a "No fault" message appears. This function also allows for the deletion of stored fault codes, which is often done after a repair has been completed to ensure that new faults can be accurately identified.
Component Test: This feature enables technicians to individually activate and test various components of the dishwasher, such as the drain pump, circulation pump, heating element, and valves. When a component is being tested, the display shows which component is currently active, often using abbreviations or specific indicators. This allows for a targeted diagnosis of component failures, helping to pinpoint the exact source of a problem without having to disassemble the entire appliance. The test sequence and background information for each component are detailed in the service manual, providing guidance on what to observe during the test.
Operating Hours Check: This function provides information about the total operating hours of the appliance. For models with LED indicators, the flash pattern of a specific LED (e.g., "SaniWash" or "Rinse" LED) indicates the saved operating hours, with different flash rates corresponding to different hour increments (e.g., slow flash for 1000 hours, rapid flash for 100 hours). For models with a display, the number of operating hours is shown directly. This information can be useful for assessing the appliance's lifespan, determining maintenance schedules, or evaluating warranty claims.
LED Test: This function activates all the LEDs on the control panel, allowing technicians to quickly check if any LED is faulty or not illuminating correctly. For models with a display, the display also lights up during this test.
Buzzer Test: This function activates the internal buzzer, allowing technicians to verify its functionality. This ensures that audible alerts for program completion or error conditions are working as intended.
Accessing the service mode typically involves a specific sequence of button presses and holds, often combined with switching the appliance on or off and opening/closing the door. The exact procedure varies slightly between different models but generally follows a pattern:
The user interface for service mode is primarily driven by LED indicators and, for more advanced models, a digital display. The flashing patterns of LEDs are used to convey information, such as fault codes (slow flashes for thousands, rapid flashes for hundreds) or operating hours. Display models offer more direct textual or numerical feedback.
The service mode is inherently a maintenance tool, providing essential capabilities for diagnosing and resolving issues:
Overall, the service mode is a comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance interface that empowers technicians to effectively service Miele G 1xxx and G 2xxx dishwashers, ensuring their reliable operation and longevity.
