Miele Dishwasher F78 Error – Tallebudgera

Miele Dishwasher F78 Error – Tallebudgera

A customer in Tallebudgera contacted ISB Electrical because their Miele dishwasher was filling with water but not washing. The wash motor was not starting and the appliance displayed an F78 error.

Miele F78 is commonly related to a circulation pump fault. In this case, the dishwasher filled correctly, but the circulation pump did not start, so water was not sprayed through the wash arms.

Inspection and Diagnosis

• Confirmed Miele F78 fault code
• Checked water filling operation
• Tested circulation pump start-up
• Inspected wiring and connectors
• Tested start capacitor
• Confirmed capacitor failure
• Checked wash motor operation after repair

Fault Found

The fault was caused by a faulty start capacitor. The circulation pump motor was not starting because the capacitor could not provide the required starting torque.

Repair Completed

The faulty start capacitor was replaced and the circulation pump was tested.

After replacement, the wash motor started normally, water circulated correctly through the spray arms and the dishwasher completed the wash cycle successfully.

Common Causes of Miele F78 Error

• Faulty circulation pump start capacitor
• Circulation pump not starting
• Wash motor fault
• Blocked circulation pump
• Wiring or connector fault
