Miele Dishwasher Error Codes: Complete List for G Series Models

Quick Answer

Miele dishwashers display error codes as F-numbers (F11, F13, F14, F70, F78) or as plain-text messages (Drain, Intake, Waterproof System) depending on the model generation. The most common codes are F11 (drain fault - clean the triple filter first), F70 (AquaStop waterproof system triggered - a leak is present), and F14 (water intake fault).

About These Miele Dishwasher Error Codes

Miele G series dishwashers use a consistent F-code system introduced across the range from the G 4000 series onward. Older Futura models may show text messages like 'Intake/Drain' instead of F-numbers - these correspond to the same underlying faults. The AquaStop system (F70) is unique to Miele and triggers on any detected water leak in the base pan, which makes it more sensitive than other brands' flood protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find the fault code on my Miele dishwasher?

On G 6000 and G 7000 series with touchscreens, the fault code appears as a notification on the display during or after the cycle. On older G 4000 and G 5000 series, the F-code appears in the LED display. You can also enter service mode by holding Start/Stop for 5 seconds to view stored fault history.

What does F11 mean on a Miele dishwasher?

F11 is a drain fault - the dishwasher could not drain water completely by the end of the cycle. The most common cause is a clogged triple filter assembly at the bottom of the wash cabinet. Remove, clean, and reinstall the filter. If F11 persists after cleaning, the drain pump may be blocked or failed.

How do I reset a Miele dishwasher error code?

Press the Start/Stop button to cancel the current cycle. The machine will drain any remaining water. Once drained, the error code should clear. If the same fault recurs on the next cycle, the underlying cause has not been fixed. Do not rely on resets without addressing the root cause.

Are Miele dishwasher error codes the same across all models?

The F-code numbers are consistent across G 4000 through G 7000 series. However, older Futura Classic and Futura Diamond models (pre-G 4000) use text descriptions like 'Intake/Drain' rather than F-numbers. The underlying faults are the same - the display format differs by model generation.

Why is my Miele dishwasher more expensive to repair than other brands?

Miele parts and service visits cost more than equivalent repairs on Whirlpool or Bosch. However, many common Miele faults - F11 filter clogging, F13 salt refill, F14 inlet hose kink - are fully DIY-resolvable at zero cost. The first step on any Miele fault is always the filter and the water supply check, both of which require no tools or parts.
