Miele appliances,
specifically.

Miele documents a set of first-run behaviors across its US lineup that read like failures but are really leftovers from how the appliance was set up: a factory spin lock still engaged on a laundry machine, a demonstration setting left active on an oven, a burner that will not catch until the air is out of a newly connected gas line. Its own customer-assistance library spells out the fix for each one in the owner's own words, not a technician's.

What is particular
to Miele.

We take on Miele cold storage, cooking appliances, dish care and laundry, since Miele documents a first-use routine and matching alerts for all four groups on its US customer-assistance site.

A factory spin lock that displays as a water alert

On a laundry machine that has never completed a cycle, Miele's own guidance explains that the machine is not allowed to spin until it has taken in water at least once, and that this safety lock is what the display is actually reporting, not a plumbing problem.

A drain-hose height limit stated in exact terms

Miele's own troubleshooting sets a maximum height for the end of the drain hose and calls out a kink as the other common cause of the same alert, both of them installation details rather than a failed pump.

A demonstration setting with its own exit sequence

Miele's ovens can ship with a demonstration setting active that keeps the display lit while blocking heat, and clearing it is a documented sequence on the control dial rather than a parts swap.

A commissioning-only ignition check on gas cooking appliances

Miele's own guidance for a gas cooking appliance that will not light on its first use names the electrical plug, the building breaker, the gas safety valve, and air still in a newly connected gas line as the checks to run before assuming a burner has failed.

Parts

Miele's own customer-assistance pages describe hoses, inlet filters and non-return valves by their fit to the specific model, and a visit checks the appliance's own documentation before ordering a fitting.

Repair or replace

Every Miele first-run item documented here is cleared without a replacement part: a cycle run to release the spin lock, a drain hose re-routed under its height limit, a demonstration setting exited on the dial, air bled from a new gas line. None of it is a repair-or-replace decision.

What we are
called out for.

On Miele, most often water leak after an install: close the supply valve first.

All problems

Miele error codes

All Miele codes
A kitchen floor in front of a newly installed dishwasher, its kick plate removed and leaning against the cabinet, a small spreading pool of clear water on light wood flooring below the open toe space, a folded dry towel lying nearby untouched, the sink cabinet door open beside it with a chrome stop valve visible, seen low from across the room. Hazard after a hookup

Water Leak After an Install: Close the Supply Valve First

6 causes, cheapest first

 Close view into the open tub of a newly installed dishwasher under a stone counter, its racks pulled out, a layer of cloudy standing water covering the filter at the bottom of the tub, the open sink cabinet beside it showing a gray drain hose lying flat along the cabinet floor instead of rising in a loop, soft daylight.

Drain Backing Up After an Install: Plug, Loop and Standpipe

6 causes, cheapest first

 Close view of the burner of a newly installed stainless gas cooking surface, one round burner cap sitting visibly crooked on its brass head with a gap on one side, the white ceramic igniter tip beside it, cast iron grates around it, every burner off, soft daylight.

Igniter Clicking After a Gas Hookup: Air in the Line or a Wet Cap

6 causes, cheapest first

 A kitchen with a newly installed stainless French door refrigerator standing open and empty, bright interior light on clean glass shelves, a simple dial thermometer on the middle shelf, grocery bags waiting on the counter nearby, cardboard corner guards at the edge of the frame, soft daylight.

Questions about
Miele appliances.

A brand-new laundry machine shows a water alert and will not spin. Did the delivery damage it?
Almost certainly not. Miele's own explanation is that the machine carries a factory-set lock that blocks spinning until it has taken in water for the first time, which the display reports as a water-related alert. Running one wash program without laundry or detergent clears it.
How high can the drain hose sit before it causes a first-run alert on a Miele laundry machine?
Miele's own guidance gives a maximum delivery head for the end of the drain hose and treats going over it, or leaving a kink in the hose, as the two most common causes of this alert. Checking both before calling for service resolves most of these.
A gas cooking appliance clicks but will not light the first time it's used. Is a part missing?
Not usually. Miele's own troubleshooting for this situation starts with the electrical plug, the building's breaker, and the gas safety valve, then names air trapped in a newly connected gas line as a separate, common cause that clears after repeating the ignition attempt a few times.
