I'm having the following issue on a Futura Dimensions G5675 scvi.

 

Issue:

1. Water Intake error (no code)

2. Machnie runs the pre-wash smoothly (about 15-20 minutes)

3. Water is entering unit, pump is circulating, water is spraying in every corner of unit if I open mid-cycle

4. After pre-wash, it drains water and tries to begin the main wash cycle.

5. At this point, it beeps and displays a water intake error 

 

What I have tried so far:

1. Replaced the entire intake valve

2. Replaced the entire intake braided hose from under the sink (in case it was blocked)

3. Thoroughly cleaned the sump area and the mini-impeller behind the removable casing.

4. I'm assuming the main pump impeller isn't blocked as it successfully completes the pre-wash

 

Other ideas I'm considering:

1. Changing the water inlet Reed Switch connected to the salt tank

2. Replacing the run capacitor (available from Miele for $35)

3. Unfortunately, Miele lists the Reed Switch in the parts diagram but doesn't sell it online.  

4. Thoughts on how I can get the Reed Switch? (Miele part #6185800)

 

Other ideas?
