Quick answer
Miele washing machines and washer-dryers can display F211. It concerns TwinDos: the thermocouple sensor at container 1 is short-circuited.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F211 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What you can do
Miele describes this as a technical fault that the owner cannot remedy, so the next step is to book a repair appointment online. Meanwhile the machine can still be used with manual dispensing.
Related codes
Container 2 has its own pair of codes: F213 for a short circuit and F214 for an open circuit. Container 1 can also report F212, an open circuit in its sensor.
