Miele Dishwasher F14 Error Code
What it means
The circulation pump may be blocked or stuck, especially after the dishwasher has been unused for weeks or months; Miele also lists a possible pump-pressure/heating-level-switch fault.
Try this first
- Remove the lower spray arm and filter combination.
- Use caution with hot water. Pour 1 liter of water no hotter than 165 F (75 C) with 3 to 5 drops of rinse aid into the dishwasher and let it soak for 5 minutes.
- Reinstall the filter combination and lower spray arm correctly, restart the program, and repeat the soak procedure 2 to 3 times if necessary.
- If the code is caused by the technical pump-pressure/heating-level-switch branch, switch the dishwasher off, wait a few seconds, switch it back on, select the desired program, and start it.
- If water is collecting in tipped dishware, secure hollow items upside down or at an angle so water can drain.
- If the on-site drain connection is lower than the lower-basket roller guide, ventilate the drain as described in the owner instructions.
- If the fault continues, arrange Miele service.
