Error codeF177
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
F177 on a Miele dishwasher is a filter cleaning reminder. Clean the filters and press OK to confirm.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F177 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What thiscode means
Filter cleaning reminder shown after a set number of programmes.
F177 on a Miele dishwasher is a reminder rather than a breakdown. After a predefined number of programme sequences have been started, the display asks you to clean the filters.
What the reminder does
Ignore it and the message returns before and after each programme sequence until you confirm it with the OK button.
Clearing it
Clean the filters as the operating instructions describe. Miele also links a video with more information.
Press OK to confirm that the cleaning has been carried out.
Easily confused with: F173 for a blocked water inlet, and F179 for an electronic module fault. Those two need other handling.
If the message does not go away, contact Miele Customer Service or book a repair appointment online.
