Published 2025-07-01 · Error & Fault Codes
A Miele dishwasher stopping with F11 is reporting a drainage fault: it cannot pump water out of the tub. The machine halts to protect itself, leaving water behind. On Miele units the drain pump, the filter, and the drain hose are the three places we check first.
What We Check
Reading the sign is the start; testing confirms the part. Here is how we work this fault on Miele:
| Code | What It Means | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
F11 | Drainage fault, water not pumping out | Clean the drain pump, filter, and hose |
F14 | Water intake or pressure fault | Check the inlet valve, supply, and flow meter |
How We Fix It
- A dishwasher stopping with an F11 drain fault
- An oven temperature or sensor fault code
- A cycle ending early with water left in the tub
Other Miele codes we read on Miele include F70 and F24 / Fxx heater. See the full list and model lines on our Miele repair page.
Why It Matters
A dishwasher fault that leaves standing water or trips leak protection is worth handling before it reaches cabinetry or flooring. We find the underlying leak or blockage rather than only clearing the code, so the problem does not come back.
What to Have Ready When You Book
Before the visit, jot down the model number and whatever the Miele is doing, including any code on the display. Repair timing depends on diagnosis and parts availability.
