Hello dear people,

having the following problem with my approx. 2 year old Miele fully automatic coffee maker (model CM 6350):

The machine wanted to be decalcified-so it stood around for approx. 2 weeks because nobody was at home.
The first time decalcifying went perfectly.
After 5 cups of coffee, however, the coffee flowed out of a high pressure outlet valve only. So I thought I'd repeat the whole cleaning process.
When descaling, the error message "Empty drip tray and grounds container" was displayed at minute 6, although nothing was inside.
I emptied the drip tray and grounds container again and the machine started the descaling process all over again. sad.gif
(Fill water tank with decalcifier up to the mark... Descaler dissolves in ....0.12h...at minute 6 a short rinse, then again the same..."empty drip tray and grounds container".... )
I have now played along with the game about 100 times - Miele won't let you abort the decalcification process I also cleaned and dried everything I could without disassembling anything.

Hi we had the same problem... my wife had to repeat the process and when I did it for the third time! I added hot water with the tablet in and then it complete the prosess and was good.
Conclusion: Don't use cold water with the tablet in.

Another nice Miele variant for despair. But ours is a VCA 6401 and this one suggests the following: Descale the unit. Great, understandably without care no coffee. Let's go only this care takes this time no end. So, empty the drip tray; fill the water tank with descaling agent and lukewarm water up to the descaling mark ~ and insert. Now: Insert brewing unit. That's in. How is it supposed to work at all, if the water tank is already inside and the brewing unit is of course already inside. Didn't I have only one or two missing from the beginning? And if there had actually been another one, it certainly wouldn't have fit in there as well. Or have I missed something and am in the wrong film. Seems like a number for stupid. Countless times trying to get out of the dilemma. A pointless exercise. Well then, it's tea time. By the way, there's no such error message in any manual. A call for help from Miele revealed: "We don't know this. Service technician comes, if no Corona with us is present. Mille grazie
