If the valve buzzes, there is a known circuit leak (from what I understand) that lets a small amount of voltage through to that valve. Does it buzz all the time? Like when the unit is supposed to be off?

It only buzzes when it’s supposed to operate. I’ve changed it and it still buzzes and I think it also is what causes cavitation

JKBFF, I can’t thank you enough for the programming instructions. If nothing else I was able to program the dishwasher so I can see the time left.

Just something to the new owner of the Miele Dishwasher, the cycle times of most European models are much longer than their American counterparts. We have a Siemens and the cycle times on your machine is pretty much on par with ours, the turbo I would suggest is almost like a half-load wash, and cuts down on the washing time but on the results as well.
We usually leave ours on 50 (eco) with the final rinse at about 70 degree celcius, and for really dirty stuff we use the 60 degree cycle, with minimal problems.
Just set it and forget it. By the way I think the buzzing noise is something to do with the fill valve, our Siemens does the same.

I have an older Miele DW so don't know how the newer ones work, but on mine the cycle times are not fixed. The estimated time is the average time it has taken the machine to complete that particular cycle and includes any time taken to heat the water to the temperature it needs. The water temperature in my house varies, colder in the winter, warmer in the summer, so I get longer cycles in the winter when the incoming water is cool, and shorter cycles when the incoming water is hotter.
What is your incoming hot water temperature to your machine? That may make a difference in the cycle time, and if you have not used some of the cycles the time you are seeing for them maybe the time it took at the other person's house and if that person never used that cycle the time will be the time it was run at the factory which I think is done using a cold fill.

Spacedogb,
From what the Tech department said, if the valve still buzzes, its because the electronic needs to be replaced because a rectifier or something somewhere is leaking.
They said to use an ohm meter and see if there is voltage to it when it isn't running.
