Error code F36
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F36 on a Miele dishwasher means the door lock switch is defective, a technical fault.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F36 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 this code means

Door lock switch defective.

A defective door lock switch is what F36 reports on a Miele dishwasher. It is a technical fault, and Miele says you cannot remedy it yourself.

Book it in

Request a repair appointment.

For door trouble of another kind see F33, where the door does not open.
