Miele Dishwasher F11 Error – Burleigh Waters

Miele Dishwasher F11 Error – Burleigh Waters

A customer in Burleigh Waters contacted ISB Electrical because their Miele dishwasher stopped during the wash cycle and displayed an F11 error code.

The dishwasher filled and washed normally, however it could not drain the water at the end of the cycle.

Inspection and Diagnosis

  • Confirmed Miele F11 fault code
  • Checked filters and sump area
  • Inspected drain hose
  • Tested drain pump operation
  • Removed drain pump cover
  • Found foreign object lodged in drain pump impeller
  • Tested drainage operation after repair

Fault Found

The fault was caused by a blocked drain pump. A foreign object became trapped inside the drain pump impeller preventing the pump from removing water correctly.

Because the dishwasher could not drain within the programmed time, the Miele control system generated the F11 error.

Repair Completed

The foreign object was removed from the drain pump and the pump housing was cleaned.

The dishwasher was tested through several wash and drain cycles. Drainage was fully restored and the F11 fault cleared.
