Possible cause and solution
Excessive foam has built up during washing.
Use less detergent next time and follow the
manufacturer's instructions on dosage given on
the packaging.
When washing, a wash program using a temperature
of Hot+ has not been run for a long time.
Run the Sanitize program using the Miele Machine
Cleaner or a universal powder detergent.
The washing machine is cleaned which prevents
bacteria and odour buildup.
The SoftSteam extra option which runs at the end of
the program could not be carried out properly.
Check whether the washing machine is aligned
correctly (see "Installation – Levelling the
machine").
Check whether the maximum delivery height of
1 m has been exceeded.
If the fault message appears again, contact Miele
Service. The washing machine can still be used, but
without the SoftSteam extra option.
