Miele Dishwasher Error Code F24

Miele Dishwasher Error Code F24

Error code F24 indicates a water inlet valve malfunction or failure to detect proper water flow into the dishwasher. This error typically means water is not entering the wash chamber as expected, preventing the dishwasher from completing its cycle.

Symptoms

• Dishwasher does not fill with water at the start of the cycle
• Cycle stops prematurely with F24 error displayed
• No water spraying from spray arms during wash
• Dishes remain dry after cycle completion
• Error message appears on control panel after 30-60 seconds of cycle start
• Dishwasher may make unusual sounds or attempt to drain immediately

Possible Causes

• Clogged or blocked water inlet valve due to mineral buildup from hard water common in many USA regions
• Faulty water inlet solenoid valve requiring replacement
• Kinked or pinched inlet water supply hose
• Failed water level sensor unable to detect incoming water
• Low water pressure from home supply line (less than 20 PSI)
• Tripped inlet valve due to power surge or electrical fault on 120V circuit
• Debris or sediment blocking the inlet valve screen filter
• Malfunctioning electronic control board unable to signal water valve opening

Safe Checks You Can Do

• Verify the circuit breaker for the dishwasher is in the ON position; if tripped, turn OFF and back ON to reset
• Inspect the water inlet hose at the back of the dishwasher for any kinks, bends, or pinches; straighten if necessary
• Locate the water supply shut-off valve under your kitchen sink and confirm it is fully open (turn counterclockwise until it stops)
• Check the dishwasher filter located at the bottom of the wash chamber and rinse away any food debris or sediment under running water
• Ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed and latches securely with an audible click
• Remove and inspect the spray arm assemblies for clogs; hold them up to light and check spray holes are clear of debris
• Reset the dishwasher by switching the circuit breaker OFF, waiting 60 seconds, then switching it back ON
• Run a short test cycle to confirm water flow; listen for water rushing into the tub during the initial fill phase
