Problem Possible cause and solution
Fault426, 526 Wash pressure is too low.
– Wash pressure is too low due to a heavy build-up of
foam. Spilled rinsing agent may not have been cleaned up
after being added.
 Follow the instructions regarding foam build-up in
“Chemical processes and technology”.
 Start the Rinse program to clean the wash cabinet.
– The load carriers were loaded incorrectly or overloaded.
 Use only mobile units, baskets, modules, and inserts
suitable for the particular application.
 Arrange hollow or deep-sided wash items so that water
runs off them freely.
– The water lines are clogged or leaking.
 Check and clean the filters in the wash cabinet and spray
arms.
 Check the injector bars for possible leaks, e.g.,:
– Are all caps and end caps in place?
– Are all connections installed with nozzles, irrigation
sleeves, hose adapters, or other irrigation connectors?
– Are installed silicone hoses undamaged?
 Check the washer’s water connectors in the back panel
of the wash cabinet to ensure that they are attached
tightly, and remove any blockages.

 Increase the amount of water (see “Program settings”). If
necessary, consult Miele Customer Service.
