Error code F601
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F601 is an AutoDos fault on Miele dishwashers with AutoDos. Owner checks are listed, with manual dosing as a fallback.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F601 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

Fault in the AutoDos automatic dispensing system.

F601 applies to Miele dishwashers with AutoDos. At the end of the programme the buzzer sounds and the display shows Fault F601: there is a fault in the AutoDos.

What to try

  1. Switch the dishwasher off and back on again.
  2. Check that the PowerDisk holder and the PowerDisk are fitted correctly. The arrows in the holder and in the viewing window must point towards each other, the holder must lie flat and the PowerDisk must sit flush with it.
  3. Clean the AutoDos system.
  4. Activate the AutoDos function and restart the programme.

If F601 comes back

The manual then describes a technical fault. You can keep using the dishwasher by deactivating automatic dispensing in the Extras menu of a programme and putting the detergent into the detergent compartment by hand. To use automatic dispensing again, contact Miele service.

Related codes

  • F600: AutoDos blocked and the programme cancelled.
  • F607: lower spray arm blocked.
  • F52: foam from excess detergent or rinse aid.
