With the G 5000 generation Miele moved the heater into the sump rather than running a separate flow-through unit, and the G5105SCU is an early example. The practical difference on service is that a scaled heater on this model shows up as a program that abandons its hot phase rather than one that simply finishes cold. Owners in hard-water areas who keep the softener supplied rarely see it; those who have run without salt for years usually do.
