Quick answer

F01 or F1 on a Miele dishwasher is a sensor fault that calls for service.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
