Miele Dishwasher Error Codes — Complete Error Code Diagnosis Guide

Fourteen Miele dishwasher codes are decoded here, and the circulation pump alone accounts for three: F68 is a pump fault, while F69 and F78 both describe it blocked — food debris, broken glass in the sump, a seized bearing. F52 is the drain pump and F11 the drainage path. F01 and F02 are the NTC sensor shorted and open. F12 is water intake, F18 the flow meter, F15 a hot-water supply problem, F24 the heating relay, F32 the detergent dispenser, F51 spray-arm distribution, and F70 a leak the base float has caught.

Three codes for one pump exist because the repair differs completely: a blocked impeller is cleared, a seized bearing is replaced, and a control fault is neither. The guides ask what the pump does when commanded — silence, a hum, a grind — before anything is ordered. F01 and F02 are settled with a meter at the sensor. F15 is the one that questions the installation rather than the appliance, since a hot-water feed connected where the machine expects cold changes what every temperature reading means.

F70 is the stop-now code: the float in the base tray has found water from a hose, a door seal, or the sump gasket, and further cycles feed it. Broken glass in the sump, which F69 often turns out to be, is a gloves-and-light job rather than a bare-hands one. The heating circuit and the ELP control board are line-voltage parts inside a wet cabinet. EasyBear services Miele dishwashers across Sacramento and the Bay Area.
