Quick answer

Short note on F172, the technical fault code on Miele dishwashers.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F172 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

The dishwasher reports a technical fault the owner cannot remedy.

F172 in one paragraph

The dishwasher display shows F172 when there is a technical fault. Miele states it is not something you can fix on your own; the step it gives is to arrange a repair appointment.
