Miele Dishwasher Error Code F25

Miele Dishwasher Error Code F25

Error code F25 indicates a drain system malfunction or blockage preventing water from properly draining from your Miele dishwasher. This error typically means the appliance has detected standing water or a failed drain pump on USA 120V models.

Symptoms

• Dishwasher does not drain water after wash cycle completes
• Water pooling at the bottom of the wash chamber
• Slow or incomplete drainage during cycle
• Error code F25 displayed on the control panel
• Dishwasher stops mid-cycle with standing water inside
• Unpleasant odors coming from the dishwasher
• Dishes remaining wet after the cycle ends

Possible Causes

• Clogged or kinked drain hose restricting water flow
• Debris, food particles, or mineral buildup in the drain pump filter
• Blocked drain pump impeller preventing water discharge
• Faulty drain pump motor failure (120V component)
• Dishwasher filter clogged with food residue
• Sink drain or garbage disposal blockage affecting backflow
• Improper drain hose installation or positioning below sink waterline
• Air gap or drain line connection issue in the plumbing
• Water inlet valve malfunction affecting drainage cycle timing

Safe Checks You Can Do

• Turn off the circuit breaker to your dishwasher for 60 seconds, then turn it back on to reset the appliance control system
• Verify the dishwasher door is fully closed and the latch is engaging completely
• Check that your home's circuit breaker dedicated to the dishwasher is in the ON position and not tripped
• Ensure the water supply valve beneath your sink is fully open (turn counterclockwise)
• Remove and clean the fine mesh filter at the bottom of the dishwasher chamber of any food debris or buildup
• Inspect both spray arms (upper and lower) for blocked spray holes and clean with a toothpick if necessary
• Visually check the drain hose at the back of the dishwasher and sink cabinet for kinks, crimps, or disconnections
• Verify your sink's drain is not clogged by testing water drainage separately
• If your sink has a garbage disposal, ensure it is not blocked and has been run recently
• Check that the drain hose end is not submerged below the waterline in your sink (should enter above water level)
