A Miele door that springs back open does not necessarily need a new latch. On the G6565SCVISF in job 5987, a detached upper-rack component kept the rack from going fully in. We removed the obstruction and checked that the door closed properly.
We offer independent Miele dishwasher diagnosis and repair. Tell us the model and what happens when you try to start or finish a cycle. If the door resists closing, do not slam it; note whether a rack or a dish is visibly in the way.
Water left after a cycle
Job 5972 concerned a G 7156 SCVi SF that was not draining. The service document records drain-line cleaning and drain-pump unblocking. It does not record a pump replacement.
The G 7156 operating instructions distinguish a clogged filter, an obstructed drain pump and a kinked drain hose. A drainage complaint alone cannot tell us which is responsible. Copy the display message exactly and tell the office when the water remains: during an interrupted program or after a finished one.
Before cleaning a G 7156 filter
Turn the dishwasher off. The manual’s filter-care section explains how the lower spray arm secures the filter assembly. Refit both correctly before using the machine; do not run a wash without the filters or lower spray arm.
Pump access requires disconnecting power. The manual warns that broken glass can be hard to see inside the pump and that its parts are delicate. If you are unsure of the procedure or cannot safely isolate power, leave it to the technician. There is no need to remove panels or pull a built-in machine out before a visit.
These checks come from the Miele G 7156 operating instructions, pages 65-68 and 73. Other Miele models can use different parts and procedures. Use the model on your appliance’s label to select its manual.
Decide with the diagnosis in hand
We give you a written repair price after inspecting the dishwasher. A costly repair may change your decision, so discuss the proposed work before authorizing it. See visit terms or request a Miele visit. Our dishwasher service page covers other makes.

These records describe the work on those machines. A similar symptom on yours does not establish the same cause.
