If the dishwasher is broken or doesn't work as it should, it’s uncomfortable, one thing that you want - to fix the dishwasher. Today we will discuss the problem with draining, what it could be, and how to fix this problem? The solution must probably be in the drain pump. The drain pump uses an impeller to force water through the drain hose. If the drain pump motor is not working, the dishwasher won’t drain. To determine if the drain pump is defective, check the pump motor for continuity using a multimeter. If the motor does not have continuity, or if it is getting power but won’t run, replace the drain pump. By following our step-by-step guide you can replace the drain pump in the dishwasher Miele G 5023 SC.
- Shutting off the electrical power. Unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker for the dishwasher.
- Removing the outer door panel and control panel. Remove the Torx screws from the inner door panel, supporting the outer door panel with one hand as you remove the final 2 screws so the outer door panel doesn't fall. Separate the outer door panel and control panel from the inner door panel, and let the outer panel rest on the floor while you disconnect the user interface control wire harness from the control panel. Pull off the outer door panel and control panel.
- Removing the bottom front access panel and toe panel. Using a nut driver, remove the screws that hold the bottom front access panel and toe panel in place. Pull the access panel and the toe panel forward and remove them.
- Removing the drain pump. Lay a towel under the drain pump to catch water. Reach under the dishwasher and squeeze the wire hose clamp that holds the drain hose on the drain pump—use channel-lock pliers if necessary. Pull the drain hose off the drain pump. Remove the wire harness from the drain pump. Press down on the locking tab and then rotate the pump 1/4 turn counterclockwise to pull it out of the sump. Remove the towel.
- Installing the new drain pump. Lubricate the O-ring water seal on the new drain pump with a light coat of rinse aid to prevent leaks. Insert the new drain pump in the sump opening and then rotate it 1/4 turn clockwise so the locking tab snaps into place. Plug the wire harness into the receptacle on the drain pump. Reinstall the drain hose on the outlet of the drain pump. Use the wire clamp to secure the drain hose on the drain pump outlet.
- Reinstalling the bottom front access panel and toe panel. Position the toe panel on the dishwasher and then position the access panel in front of the toe panel. Insert the mounting screws and tighten the screws firmly.
- Reinstalling the outer door panel and control panel. Position the outer door panel and control panel close enough to the inner door so you can reconnect the user interface control wire harness. Reconnect the user interface control wire harness and attach the outer door panel and control panel to the inner door panel. Reinstall the mounting screws.
- Reconnect electricity. Reset the house circuit breaker or plug in the dishwasher to restore electrical power.
