Quick answer
F104 on a Miele washer or washer-dryer reports a fault with the drum drive. It is a technical fault that an owner cannot remedy.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F104 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
F104 reports a fault with the drum drive.
When F104 appears on the display of a Miele washing machine or washer-dryer, the machine is reporting a fault with the drum drive.
What F104 means
Miele’s support text lists F104 as a technical fault. It states plainly that an owner cannot remedy it, so there is no filter to clean, no hose to check and no reset sequence to try. The code covers both washing machines and washer-dryers.
What to do next
Write down the code exactly as shown: F104.
Keep a note of when the code appeared.
Book a repair appointment; the support text says this can be done online.

F130 is also a technical fault, but it concerns the electronic module.
F105 sits right next to it in the list but refers to the steam generator.
