Miele G851SC Plus

Model # G851SC Plus

The G851SC Plus is a G 800 series machine from the turn of the millennium, and in hard-water regions its built-in softener is the part that decides whether the machine still performs. Owners often read cloudy glassware as a failing pump when the real cause is an exhausted resin bed or an empty salt reservoir. Our technicians check hardness setting and salt level first on this model before touching the spray system.

Key Features

  • Full-size Novotronic built-in with an upper spray arm fed through the rack
  • Turbothermic drying assisted by the residual heat of the final rinse
  • Adjustable upper basket for tall stemware
  • Water softener with manual hardness setting
