Brand:Miele
Model Number: G-2272
Main Symptom: trips RCD
What happens & when:
Hi everyone,
I have a Miele dishwasher that keeps tripping the RCD/FI switch during a cycle.
The sequence was originally:
-
Machine starts normally
-
Pumps out water
-
Takes in fresh water
-
RCD trips when the detergent dispenser activates
-
No error code
I disconnected the heating element as a test, and the dishwasher ran normally for a while. I replaced the heating element with a new Miele part, but the problem returned.
I have also replaced the detergent dispenser and repaired a damaged wire in the door wiring area (the insulation had worn/melted and the wire could touch the metal frame). After the repair it worked for three cycles, then the fault returned.
The dishwasher has also shown F14 once, but not consistently.
The strange thing is that if it sits unused for several days, it starts for a couple of minutes and then triggers RCD again right after powder dispenser opens up.
Has anyone seen this type of intermittent fault on a Miele dishwasher? Would you suspect the circulation pump, wiring harness, or another component?
Thank you!
