Hi I have a Miele dishwasher and the float switch in the base activated due to a leak. Its model G 656 SC PLUS. I took the right hand side off I have found the cause, I think.
There is this big tank on the right hand side with a solenoid on it half way up. Looking online at the guts of this machine there is a tank called the Water Intake mixer on the right side and its leaking like hell from around the solenoid (Water Control Valve, Y5) at the beginning of a run cycle. This solenoid is half way up the side of the machine.
I took the solenoid off and you are then left with this plastic probe looking part that twists and comes off. I have taken it off and there is a big black rubber o ring which looks ok but is that the cause, if so what do I do?
Can I just put vaseline on it or something else or do I need to replace the probe part or the rubber or what?
It also has another rubber small part, which looks a bit scaled, could it be that? Can I get these individual parts or are they supplied with the tank part?
I dont think it will be easy to get another o ring the same size or are o rings made in standard sizes and so easy to match?
Help please
