Miele G7100SCi

[henene4]

The 6000 series has the flow sensor somewhere in the water path, either somewhere along the feed tube for the upper rack or around the pump.

The optical sensor listed for the 6300SCI over here looks basicly the same.
I think I red sonewhere for some early series that it was in the water path to the upper rack and had a bypass of different width to reduce bubbles in the water from suds etc for a more accurate reading.
I guess the same goes for pausing.

Yes, I had the earlier model with the sensor on the right upper side, no pausing for that one either. I just thought that with this 6xxx one, with the sensor in the sump there might be pausing during the spray, but there is not.

Correction from my post above. This is a 69XX model and it does have the same optical sensor in the sump that you have, but no pausing the spray.

6987 sump

For comparison, I took a pic of the sump on my 69XX model which is one series below yours. I don't think this one has the NTC in the sump either, so I don't know where it is, perhaps near the pump?

The image got slightly rotated to the side during the upload. The pump intake is at the 3 o'clock position(actually at the 12 o'clock position) the drain pump intake is seen at 11 o'clock, I guess the optical sensor is 10, although there are three prongs there so one might be the NTC. I am not sure about the hole in the 7 position since the fresh water and the water from the heat exchanger come up from the sump it might be for those.

They have combined

The turbidity sensor with the NTC.

 

[rolls_rapide]

Wasn't there a turbidity sensor which used two different coloured LEDs (e.g. a red and a green) to get a more accurate reading? I'm thinking it was the likes of Bosch Siemens, but can't be sure.

Getting less and less impressed

When I bought this DW I had the choice between a G6000 and a G7000 for basicly the same price.
Should have taken the G6000.

I had a kind of stir-fry with chicken, spinach, tomato and a curry paste yesterday evening.

Nothing major, just a lot of soiling.

Ran the load on Auto with no options since nothing was burned or dried on much.

Came back to find a more or less clean load.

But my racks are tinged green.

No joke, a verry fine mint green.

The plastics are fine. The handle of one pan has taken up the same color.
But the plastics in the DW are fine.
The coated racks are tinged green.

I just started a machine clean cycle with a machine cleaner and by god I hope for Miele that that helps.

Doesn't show up well on the pics, but I took some anyway...

 

[henene4]

Nope, still green

Running again now with the bit of bleach I have left.

Not sure if this is something to call Miele about.
I mean, it's just cosmetic, but honestly, on a 1000+€ DW after 2 months?

Honestly kinda annoyed.

 

[henene4]

Bleaching helped.

Not gonna use the liquid Finish junk anymore except for prewashes.

It happens to me too but with red as I usually wash dishes with tomato sauce residues. It doesn't affect the wash, still perfect as usual, it's just fun to see some things colored in a faint pink. Racks don't get that color, just the dispensers lids , the wheels of racks and the third rack. They at Miele explained that this is absolutely normal and if it happens to annoy me to just run a wash with a dishwasher care product. I don't care the least but I was just curious. They use plastics sensitive to certain food color. They watch for materials to be as recyclable as possibile rather than be tomato or spinach color proof. By the way on the user manual it is clearly stated that this can happen.

The root of all evil is I think the dishwasher tabs. I think they don't contain enough detergent to get a load (and the inside of the dishwasher) really clean. When I use a tab on a dirty load I add some powder, just put it on the door so it is used in the pre-rinse. It really makes a difference, even though the pre-rinse is cold. The dishes are much cleaner than ever before.

The tomato pink racks and plastics are the same in my Miele

The dishwasher still cleans everything but the plastic comes out hint of pink and the cutlery rack collects the most colour, However when it gets to a point its bugging me I pop a couple of steriliser tablets in the machine during the prewash and it gets it all off. At around £5 a tub of 100 its not exactly expensive to do either ...

Discolorization is from the curry paste. One hit of that will turn things. Probably combined with an ingredient in the dye in the detergent caused the green tint.
