The Miele G1220 dishwasher is sold in both the United States and Europe and has features such as a safety lock, upper and lower spray arms, filter, dual detergent dispenser, and adjustable racks. The dishwasher also has a computer control panel that displays error codes if a problem arises. One such code is "F85," which indicates problems with the slide shutter signal, which is part of the circulation pump and moves the water to the spray arms. The shutter controls the path of the water with a sensor, which results in the error code when a problem occurs.
