At a glance
Code
F601
What it means
Fault in the AutoDos automatic dispensing system.
What you can check
Switch the machine off and on, then check the PowerDisk fit: arrows facing each other, holder flat, disk flush. Clean the AutoDos, turn it on again and rerun the programme. Meanwhile pour detergent in by hand.
When to call a technician
If the message repeats after those checks, it points to a technical fault, so book a service visit to restore automatic dispensing.
Fitting check for the PowerDisk
Arrows on the PowerDisk holder and the viewing window face one another.
The holder lies flat.
The PowerDisk is flush with the holder.
Sequence from the manual
Power the machine off, then on. After checking the fit, clean the AutoDos, turn the AutoDos function on and run the programme again. A repeat of the message points to a technical fault. Meanwhile the dishwasher stays usable: turn off automatic dispensing under Extras for the programme and pour detergent into the compartment yourself. Miele service is the contact for restoring automatic dispensing.
