Miele dishwasher error codes
Extra Miele dishwasher codes beyond the common F11/F12 set: these cover water intake, drain and electronics faults. Find your code below for meaning and safe checks.
| Code | Meaning | Severity | First action |
|---|---|---|---|
| F17 | Water intake fault | Often fixable at home | The dishwasher could not draw water in time — tap, valve or aqua-stop fault. |
| F70 | Waterproof system triggered | Often fixable at home | Water was detected in the base pan, so the waterproof system shut the machine down. |
| F84 | Circulation pump fault | Often fixable at home | The circulation pump did not reach its operating position or speed — pump or electronics fault. |
Safety first
Unplug before any check. Never open panels beyond the filter flap. Anything involving internal wiring, the heater or gas must go to a professional — see each code page for its "call a professional when" line.
