Miele Dishwasher Not Draining? Drain Pump Motor 11025001 – Fix Standing Water Fast

A failed drain pump motor is the most common cause of a Miele dishwasher that leaves standing water in the bottom of the tub at the end of the cycle, or stops mid-cycle with a drain error. In Miele dishwashers, the synchronous drain pump motor drives the impeller that forces water out of the tub through the drain hose. When it fails, water cannot be expelled — the dishwasher may stop mid-cycle, display a drain fault code, or complete the cycle but leave the tub full of dirty water. ⚡ Common failure point in Miele dishwashers — especially after extended use or a foreign object blockage event. Part 11025001 is the genuine OEM synchronous drain pump motor that restores full draining function immediately.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ The dishwasher powers on and the wash cycle runs normally
• ✔ The drain filter and drain hose have been checked and confirmed clear of blockages
• ✔ The dishwasher displays a drain error code or stops at the drain phase
• ✔ ONLY problem is water remaining in the tub at the end of the cycle

🔧 Common Symptoms

• Standing water in the bottom of the dishwasher tub after the cycle ends
• Dishwasher stops mid-cycle and displays a drain fault or F11/F12 error code
• Drain pump hums but water does not drain (impeller blocked or motor seized)
• Dishwasher drains slowly or incompletely, leaving residual water
• Drain pump is completely silent during the drain phase of the cycle

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.

✔ In most cases, replacing this drain pump motor restores full draining immediately.
