Miele PFD 101 U ProfiLine 24 Inch Undercounter Dishwasher 120V Fresh Water 13 Place Settings Stainless Steel
Miele PFD 101 U — 24" ProfiLine Undercounter Dishwasher, 120V
The Miele PFD 101 U is the entry point to Miele's ProfiLine range: a 24-inch built-under dishwasher with a stainless steel front that plugs into a standard 120V / 15 A NEMA 5-15 outlet. It washes with fresh water on every program step instead of recirculating a tank, reaches a final rinse of up to 180°F (82°C), and finishes its fastest program, QuickIntenseWash, in 52 minutes. Rated for up to 5 cycles a day and tested for 12,500 program cycles, it is built for offices, staff rooms, care homes, schools, and live-kitchen settings that need commercial-grade hygiene without commercial-grade wiring. ExtraComfort baskets hold 13 place settings or 10 white wine glasses, AutoOpen assisted drying opens the door at the end of the cycle, and Wi-Fi is included as standard.
Key Features of the PFD 101 U
The PFD 101 U carries the same fresh water wash principle as Miele's larger professional machines, packaged in a 24-inch built-under cabinet that installs where a household dishwasher would go.
Fresh Water Wash System
Every program step uses fresh water rather than a recirculated wash tank, giving repeated water changes and filtration for consistently high cleaning results on each load.
180°F Final Rinse & SaniWash
A built-in 1.3 kW heater takes the final rinse up to 180°F (82°C) with an adjustable rinse temperature, and the dedicated SaniWash program runs 85 minutes plus 30 minutes of drying.
ExtraComfort Baskets
Two levels of FlexLine baskets hold 13 place settings or 10 white wine glasses, with a height-adjustable upper basket, two FlexCare glass holders, a FlexCare cup rack, and a cutlery basket.
AutoOpen Assisted Drying
Active condensation drying is followed by AutoOpen, which opens the door automatically at the end of the cycle so steam escapes and glassware and plastics dry faster.
Integrated Water Softener
The built-in softener treats incoming water up to 38 gpg (6.5 mmol/l), helping prevent spotting on glassware and scale build-up inside the machine in hard-water areas without a separate external unit.
Wi-Fi, Miele MOVE & Delay Start
WiFiConn@ct is standard and the machine is network-enabled for Miele MOVE, so machine data can be checked from any device; a delay start of up to 24 hours runs loads off-hours.

Choosing the right model: The PFD 101 U is rated for 1 to 5 wash cycles per day.
