Error code F34 / Door lock
Appliance Washer
Quick answer

Miele F34 on washers: the door will not lock. An overloaded drum or a technical fault is the cause.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F34 / Door lock 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

Door (or drum on top loaders) cannot lock; the drum is overloaded or there is a technical fault.

What the display says

Miele washers can show F34 with the words Door lock, call Customer Service. The door, or the drum on a top loader, has failed to lock.

Code F34 / Door lock
What it means Door (or drum on top loaders) cannot lock; the drum is overloaded or there is a technical fault.
What you can check Reduce the load to no more than the maximum in the operating instructions, then switch the machine off and on. If that fails, unplug it or disconnect the fuse, wait at least 2 minutes and switch back on.
When to call a technician If F34 keeps returning after the lighter load and the power reset, arrange a service visit, since the door or drum lock may have a technical fault.

Try these in order

  • Lighten the load to the maximum in the operating instructions, then power the machine off and on.
  • Still locked out? Cut the electricity supply by unplugging at the wall or disconnecting the fuse, leave it for a minimum of 2 minutes, then switch back on.

If it keeps appearing

Contact Miele Customer Service or book a repair online.

Compare codes

  • F35: the door will not unlock.
  • F3: heater sensor short circuit, a different fault.
