• Check your home circuit breaker to ensure the dishwasher breaker is in the ON position; if tripped, switch it off completely for 60 seconds, then switch back ON to reset
• Verify the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched securely, as a loose door can trigger error codes
• Open the door and visually inspect the filter at the bottom of the tub for food debris, then rinse it clean under running water
• Locate the water supply valve behind or beneath the sink and confirm it is fully turned open (counterclockwise)
• Check that spray arms rotate freely and are not blocked by dishes or debris; spin them by hand to test movement
• Ensure no dishes or utensils are blocking the door seal or preventing the door from closing completely
• Perform a hard reset by switching the circuit breaker OFF for a full 60 seconds with the door open, then switching it back ON; wait 5 minutes before attempting to start a new cycle
• If error persists after these steps, discontinue use and contact a certified Miele service technician for professional diagnosis
