Question 1

Why is my MIELE G 665 SC dishwasher not washing properly anymore and how can I fix it?

Accepted Answer

If your Miele G 665 SC dishwasher is no longer washing properly, several points need to be checked and adjusted. Here are the concrete actions to take immediately:

Cleaning the filters and spray arms
The three-element filtration system (coarse filter and microfilter) is the number one cause of poor washing. Remove the lower basket, turn the filter handle counterclockwise to release it, and then rinse each element under running water. Pay special attention to the coarse filter by pulling on the locking mechanism. The spray arms should also be inspected approximately every 6 months: unscrew them (upper, middle, and lower), use a sharp object to unblock the openings, and then rinse thoroughly. Reassemble everything while ensuring that the arms rotate freely.

Adjusting the water softener
This is a frequently overlooked cause. Your appliance has a built-in softener with 6 adjustment levels. The factory setting is level 3 (for water hardness of 400 to 630 mg/l or 22-35°d). If your water is harder (> 630 mg/l), switch to level 4. If it is softer, decrease the level. Contact your local water supplier to find out your water hardness. Use a coin or screwdriver to turn the selector in the tank.

Checking the salt and rinse aid
The salt reservoir holds about 2 kg of special dishwasher salt (not detergent, which would damage the softener). Fill it when the "salt" indicator lights up. For rinse aid, the factory setting is 3, which dispenses about 3 ml per cycle. If streaks remain after drying, increase to 4 or 5. If greasy streaks appear, decrease to 2. The reservoir holds about 130 ml.

Adjusting the detergent dosage
Only use special dishwasher detergent, never dish soap. For a UNIVERSAL program, use at least 30 ml of detergent, unless otherwise advised by the manufacturer. The dispenser has two compartments: Compartment I (max 25 ml, pre-wash) and Compartment II (max 80 ml, main wash). Check that your product is not expired.

Checking the loading and water level
The dishes should be loaded in such a way that water reaches all surfaces. Do not overload: too many items prevent water circulation. Also, check that the stopcock (water inlet) is fully open. If the water level seems too low, run the COLD PRE-WASH without dishes, wait 3 minutes, then check that the water depth is at least 4 mm after removing the lower basket.

Complete internal cleaning
If limescale deposits persist despite the well-adjusted softener, use a specific dishwasher cleaning detergent. Run a UNIVERSAL 65° program with this product and without dishes.

By applying these checks in order, you will restore optimal washing performance. If the problem persists after these steps, technical intervention may be necessary to check the internal condition of the pump or spray arms.

Question 2

How to replace the salt container in the door of the MIELE G 2670 SCVI dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

The salt container is an essential component for the proper functioning of your MIELE G 2670 SCVI dishwasher, particularly to prevent limescale deposits. Here’s how to proceed to replace the salt container located in the door:

Steps to replace the salt container in the door

Turn off the power: For your safety, unplug the dishwasher or turn off the circuit breaker before any intervention.
Open the dishwasher door to access the inside.
Locate the salt container in the door. On this model, it is integrated into the door and can be identified by its specific lid.
Remove the lid of the salt container by unscrewing it or lifting it according to the intended mechanism.
Empty the contents of the salt container if necessary, by removing any remaining salt and cleaning the inside to avoid any deposits or blockages.
Remove the used salt container by gently freeing it from its position in the door. Depending on the design, it may be clipped or screwed in.
Install the new salt container by positioning it correctly in its housing. Ensure that it is securely fixed and stable.
Close the lid of the salt container by screwing it or clipping it back on.
Fill the salt container with suitable regenerating salt for dishwashers, respecting the indicated capacity.
Close the dishwasher door.
Reconnect the appliance and turn it back on.
Test the dishwasher to check that the replacement has been done correctly and that the salt indicator is functioning normally.

If you encounter difficulties during the replacement, ensure that you are using a salt container compatible with the G 2670 SCVI model. If in doubt, contact a specialized MIELE after-sales service for assistance.
