When to call a technician F70 means the Waterproof system reacted, so arrange a service visit once the stopcock is closed and the plug is out.

Safe sequence from Miele

  • Shut the stopcock.
  • Turn the dishwasher off.
  • Pull the mains plug, after which the drain pump stops.
  • Get in touch with Miele customer service.

Miele’s user manual for the G 7000 / G 5000 series shows this as the message “Waterproof”, with the note that the system has reacted. Miele lists the conditions for reliable protection: correct installation, proper maintenance, replacing parts with visible damage, and closing the water faucet when nobody is home for a longer time. The Waterproof protection stays active when the machine is switched off, provided it remains on the domestic power supply.

Other codes to know

F79 and F69 both involve the circulation pump, while F68 is a pump fault listed as service-only.
