G 5000 Inlet Hoses; Update - Miele G 4205 Technical Information

Technical Information
Dishwashing problems without phosphates
After the removal of phosphates from all major brands of dishwasher
detergents in July 2010, it took about 6 months for existing store stocks to sell
out. It's no wonder that starting in 2011, consumer complaints grew at an
alarming rate. Some of these complaints are:
Dishes no longer shine
Gritty film left on glasses and plates
Silverware turning black
Food particles remaining on silverware and dishes
White film & deposits on dishwasher surfaces
Destruction of non-stick surfaces
What to do?
These problems are being experienced by dishwasher owners all over the
country. All brands and all models are affected. Our MieleCare brand
detergents, also phosphate free, have been the cause of relatively few
complaints, so they can be recommended as a possible solution. Other
detergent manufacturers are looking for new, environmentally friendly
additives, but until they find one, there is no easy answer. See the following

G 5000 Inlet Hoses; Update

There is a new inlet hose available for the G 5000 dishwashers. The inlet
hose/inlet valve assembly has been updated with a new part number.
07934070 will no longer be available – 07934071 (or higher) should be used
exclusively.
The difference: The new hoses have a stainless-steel braid on the exterior.
On the old hoses, this braid was plastic. The new hose is stronger and much
less likely to suffer damage from sharp objects, kinking, etc.
Replacing the hose: Any time you find that the outer plastic braid is
damaged in any way, the hose assembly should be replaced. A damaged
braid can lead to hose failure. In all cases, the hose and valve should be
replaced as a complete assembly. The hose and valve are assembled at the
factory, and they are matched and torqued to prevent the chance of any
leaks.
After replacement: All damaged hoses or failed valves must be returned to
Princeton. Mark the parts with the AMS order number as well as the model
and serial number. Send the parts to the attention of Engineering Services.
