Error code F70
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F70 means the Waterproof system has been activated, the programme is cancelled and the drain pump runs.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F70 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

Waterproof system activated; programme cancelled and drain pump starts.

F70 appears when the Waterproof system of a Miele dishwasher has been activated. The current programme is cancelled and the drain pump switches on.

Do this in order

  1. Close the stopcock.
  2. Switch the dishwasher off.
  3. Disconnect the mains plug. The drain pump will stop running.
  4. Contact Miele customer service.

About the Waterproof system

Miele’s user manual for the G 7000 / G 5000 dishwashers shows the matching display message “Waterproof: the Waterproof system has reacted” with the same advice: turn the dishwasher off, turn off the faucet and contact Miele Customer Service. The protection works only if the machine was installed correctly, is maintained properly, and has damaged parts replaced. Miele also says to shut the water supply faucet during long absences, such as a vacation. The system keeps working with the dishwasher switched off, as long as it stays connected to the household electrical supply.
