Quick answer

What Miele F106 means, which machines show it, and why the next step is a repair appointment rather than home troubleshooting.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F106 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 this code means

F106 means a fault with the steam generator.

What F106 tells you

Miele reports the steam generator as faulty when F106 is displayed. The entry labels it technical and says the owner cannot remedy it.
