What Water intake fault
actually means.
When the drum does not fill in time the machine stops the program with this message. Miele points to the supply valve, a kinked intake hose, blocked intake filters, and low water pressure, for which the machine has its own low-pressure setting.

What to do when Water intake fault shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeWater, fill and drain
Water is not arriving, not reaching its level, not heating or not leaving on time. A dish machine may be short of fill because a supply valve is half closed or its line strainer is clogged, it may drain slowly through a scrap basket full of debris, or its booster may be too scaled to heat the rinse; a combi's steam generator may be scaled or its water treatment exhausted; a washer-extractor may time out on a slow drain. Opening the supply valve, cleaning strainers with the unit off and checking the drain line are fair; a pump, a fill valve, a heater or a leak near wiring is a visit.
Usually leads toDish machine repair
Undercounter, door-type and conveyor dish machines: tank heaters, boosters, wash pumps, fill and drain valves.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele Professional's own guidance for Water intake fault on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the water supply valves to the machine are fully open.
Straighten any kink in the intake hoses and clean the intake filters as described under Cleaning the filters.
If your building's pressure is low, ask whoever manages the machine settings to switch on the Low water pressure setting; if the message returns, book a visit.
What not to do
This message is about supply, not drainage. A problem only on the hot side shows its own reminder, Check hot water intake, at the end of the program.
