Miele Dishwasher F12 Error – Helensvale
A customer in Helensvale contacted ISB Electrical because their Miele dishwasher stopped shortly after starting and displayed an F12 error code.
The dishwasher attempted to fill with water but took too long to reach the required water level. The appliance then stopped and generated the F12 fault.
Inspection and Diagnosis
- Confirmed Miele F12 fault code
- Checked incoming water pressure
- Inspected water inlet hose
- Tested Aquastop valve operation
- Removed inlet filter for inspection
- Found inlet filter heavily blocked
- Tested dishwasher after repair
Fault Found
The fault was caused by a blocked water inlet filter. Mineral deposits and debris had restricted water flow entering the dishwasher.
Because the dishwasher could not fill within the expected time, the control system generated the Miele F12 error code.
Repair Completed
The inlet filter was removed and thoroughly cleaned. The water inlet system was tested for correct flow rate and pressure.
After cleaning, the dishwasher filled normally and completed multiple wash cycles without any further faults.
