Miele dishwasher not drying dishes is a known issue affecting G7156SCVi. Our technicians specialize in Miele-specific diagnostics and repair.
Miele dishwasher not drying dishes is typically caused by failed heating element or broken vent fan. Miele-specific factor: miele autoopen drying pops the door ajar at cycle end to vent moisture — a jammed or delatched door mechanism leaves the load steaming and wet. Repair costs $100-$250 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.

Empty rinse-aid reservoir removing the sheeting that Miele condensation drying depends on
AutoOpen actuator or spring failure so the door never releases to release humid air
Blocked or fouled final-rinse heater path leaving the load too cool for condensation drying
Salt and rinse-aid settings left at minimum on units with a water softener, weakening the dry

Sacramento hard water makes the built-in Miele water softener and rinse-aid dosing important; under-dosed rinse aid plus scale leaves the load wet. The AutoOpen actuator is checked when the door fails to pop at cycle end.
Confirm nothing obstructs the AutoOpen door and that it releases ajar at the end of the cycle to vent moisture
Check the rinse-aid reservoir and, on softener-equipped units, the salt reservoir and dosing settings
Verify the final rinse reaches temperature so the load is warm enough for condensation drying
The technician first confirms the AutoOpen door is free and rinse aid is dosing — most Miele not-drying complaints resolve there at low cost. A failed AutoOpen actuator or spring is a moderate repair; a final-rinse heating fault is the higher-cost end. The Miele-specific insight is that the door is meant to pop open, and blocking it is the most common cause.
