Error codeF220
ApplianceWasher
Quick answer
F220 on a Miele washing machine or washer-dryer means the machine reports that it is leaking. The message can also appear in error.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F220 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
The washer reports a leak; the message can also appear in error.
F220 on a Miele washing machine or washer-dryer says the washer is leaking. Miele classes this as a technical fault the owner cannot remedy and asks you to book a repair appointment online. The message may also be displayed erroneously when nothing is leaking.
Check whether it is a false alarm
Disconnect the washer from the mains and look for water that has leaked out. If none has, reconnect it, start any wash programme and watch the result. If the machine works normally and no fault appears, F220 was displayed erroneously.
Software update
Make sure the machine is connected to your WiFi network, because a software update is available. You can continue to use the washer. If it is not network-enabled, contact Miele Customer Service.

For water trouble from a blocked filter see F210. Another technical display fault is F242.
