Miele dishwasher F17 error code

F17 means water intake fault. The dishwasher could not draw water in time — tap, valve or aqua-stop fault..

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Check the tap under the sink is fully open and the hose is not kinked.
  2. Close and reopen the tap to reset an aqua-stop valve that has tripped.
  3. Power-cycle; if F17 returns with good supply, book an engineer.

Call a professional when…

Check supply first; then the inlet valve or aqua-stop unit is replaced. If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
