Correcting minor faults

With the aid of the following explanatory
notes, minor faults can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Dept.
Any work on the electrical components
of the machine should only be carried
out by a suitably qualified and
competent person in accordance with
local and national safety regulations.
Unauthorised repairs could be
dangerous.

Faults / possible causes

The machine does not start
– The door is not properly closed.
– The plug is not properly inserted in
the socket.
– The fuse is defective / has blown.
A few minutes after switching on, the
p / 6 indicator light flashes (fault
code F..E appears in the display)
– The stopcocks are closed.
– The filters in the water inlet hose are
dirty.
– The water pressure is too low.
^ Turn the programme selector to the

The wash cycle finishes too early
and the p / 6 indicator light flashes
(fault code F A appears in the
display).
– The drain hose is kinked.
– The drain pump is blocked
^ Turn the programme selector to the
STOP position f (the fault code
goes out).
^ Switch the machine off (press I-0).
^ Straighten the hose and check/clean
the drain pump.
^ Switch the machine on again, drain
the water away and start the
programme again (see DRAIN and
"Switching on").
Water in the wash cabinet does not
heat up; the programme takes too
long (a fault code appears in the
display: F01 - F02)
This machine has a resettable heater
limiter which will switch off the heaters if
they over-heat. This could be caused
for example, by large articles covering
the heating elements or if the filters in
the wash cabinet are blocked.
^ Remove the cause of the fault.
^ Take off the service panel (see
"Electrical connection").
^ Press the reset button on the heater
limiter (reddish brown) located on the
left- hand side of the plinth.
If this switch trips again contact the
Miele Service Department.
