What the End/Start-Stop/Top Solo flashing simultaneously error code actually means

Your Miele dishwasher finished or tried to finish a cycle but detected something wrong with its internal systems. Three indicator lights flashing at the same time is the machine's way of saying it needs attention beyond what it can fix on its own. Try turning it off and back on to see if the problem clears, but if the lights flash again, a service technician will need to investigate.

Questions people ask about End/Start-Stop/Top Solo flashing simultaneously

What does End/Start-Stop/Top Solo flashing simultaneously mean on a Miele dishwasher?
This combined flashing pattern means the dishwasher's control system has detected a technical fault at the end of a program cycle. It is a non-specific internal malfunction indicator, not tied to a single component. The machine uses all three lights together to signal that something went wrong that it cannot resolve on its own. You will need to attempt a reset or contact Miele Technical Service if the fault persists.
Is it safe to keep using the dishwasher when these lights are flashing?
It is not recommended to continue running cycles when this fault is active and recurring. The simultaneous flashing of all three indicators signals an internal malfunction that the machine has flagged as requiring service. Running repeated cycles without addressing the root cause will not resolve a hardware-level fault and could mask a developing problem. If the reset does not clear the error, stop using the dishwasher until it has been inspected.
Do I need to call Miele directly, or can any technician fix this error?
Miele recommends contacting Miele Technical Service for this fault, as the error is a non-specific internal malfunction that requires brand-level diagnostic tools and knowledge to trace accurately. While a qualified independent appliance technician with Miele experience may be able to help, technicians without access to Miele-specific diagnostic equipment may have difficulty pinpointing the root cause. Calling Miele Technical Service first is the safest path to an accurate diagnosis.
Will resetting the dishwasher clear this flashing error?
A reset will clear the error if the fault was caused by a transient glitch such as a power fluctuation or a temporary software issue. To reset, press Start/Stop, turn the machine off, wait a few seconds, turn it back on, select a program, and press Start/Stop again. If the three indicators flash again after this process, the fault is persistent and a reset alone will not resolve it.
How much does it cost to repair a Miele dishwasher showing this fault?
Repair costs vary depending on what component is at fault. A service call and diagnosis alone can range from around 100 to 200 dollars or more depending on your location and the service provider. If the repair requires a replacement control board or electronic module, total costs including parts and labor can range from 200 to 600 dollars or higher. Getting a diagnostic assessment before authorizing repairs is the best way to understand the specific cost for your situation.
