Miele uses F-codes across its dishwashers and ovens that name the failing circuit. F11 is a drainage fault, F70 is a water-level or float fault, and F14 relates to the dispenser or heating path. The code narrows the fault; the part is confirmed before replacement.
What the Codes Mean
Miele F-codes such as F11, F70 and F14 point to drainage, water-level and heating faults. The code narrows it; a meter confirms the part.
| Code | Likely Cause | What the Fix Involves |
|---|---|---|
| F11 | Drainage fault | Clear the filter and hose, test the drain pump |
| F70 | Water-level or float fault | Find the leak, reset the float, test the sensor |
| F14 | Dispenser or heating path fault | Test the dispenser and heating circuit |
| F13 | Heating fault | Test the heater and thermostat |
| F24 | Circulation or heating issue | Test the circulation pump and heater |
Before You Book
An F70 usually means water has reached the base and tripped the safety float, so the leak is found before the cycle is run again. An F11 is worked from the filter outward to the drain pump. We verify the pump or valve with a meter before replacing it.
Codes Point, They Do Not Fix
An error code narrows where to look, but the same code can have more than one cause. A technician confirms the fault with a meter before replacing a part, so you are not paying to swap good components.

Book a visit and we will confirm the real cause before replacing anything. Diagnostic and travel fees, if applicable, are confirmed before the appointment and before repair approval.
