It will only start "everyother" time, so it seems like there might be a leakage that prevents it fro starting until it's dried up.
I'd appreciate it if anyone knows how to get hold of a service guide for this dishwasher.

We've twice had odd problems. Once when the timer never progressed, and the second time where it'd do a complete cycle without adding any water.

First turned out to be connector that fell off inside the door. Second turned out to be connector making poor connection underneath unit.

Disconnect, clean, and reconnect, and been good ever since.

Hi Harald (Norsk?)
I have got a similar problem to yours. It stops every now and then and kicks out the ground-failure-switch(?) in the house. The dish washer won't work for a week, but it seems when it has dried up it will do the work again. So my only solution to the problem has been to do it do the dishes manually for a week every now and then - and wait for the dish washer to mend itself.
Did you make your dish washer work again? What did you do? And did it solve the problem?

Not sure if this is of assistance but you can find the user manuals on the Miele site. I just downloaded it for my problem as the machine was here when I moved in. This is the first problem I have had and it is only a filter issue due to inactivity while we were away on holidays and it is now functioning correctly.
