Possible Causes
Design requiring stopper engagement, Misaligned magnetic sensor, Worn stopper magnet, Sticky mechanical interlock
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the disposal before adjusting the stopper or interlock.
- Understand design: Consult the Miele manual to confirm if your model is designed to operate only with the stopper engaged.
- Check stopper magnet: If equipped with a magnetic stopper, ensure the magnet is intact and oriented correctly.
- Align sensor: Under the sink, verify that the sensor housing is secure and aligned with the stopper position.
- Replace worn parts: If the stopper or sensor is unreliable, replace with Miele-approved components.
