Rino, sorry you are having problems with your machine. If the unit is out of warranty depending on where you live there may be a local servicer that can provide the service to you. The machines are designed to last 20 years but as with anything something can go wrong during its life. Overall Miele has continued to have lower rates of service compared to the majority of the other appliance manufacturers. If you are going to look for a less expensive brand with similar quality you may want to consider looking at a Bosch

@@MARSILLIOSAPPLIANCETVBBQ Thanks' for your comment but there are major underlying issue here. The whole PR angle that Miele push is the longevity and testing of their dishwashers. What's happened to my machine should have not as its not mechanical due to wear but major electronic failure. I approached Miele about the issue but they don't want to know which is lousy. They said it was 1k to fix or I should look around for something cheaper that I could afford which was extremely belittling. The machines is like new so Miele should have taken this into consideration and sort to rectify or help me with my problem. The other issue is that Miele totally monopolise the retail space and fix price all their appliances with their retailers which is unethical and contrary to market competition. Local repair guys also wont touch my machine as Miele has this monopolised and can only be had through their Miele service centre which cost a bomb. I am so unhappy about this brand and what they advertise and not stand by is not funny.
