What the F84 Fault Code Means
The F84 fault code indicates that the slide shutter has failed to reach the correct position. The slide shutter is a motorised component that directs water to different spray arms during the wash cycle. When the motor has been activated but the shutter does not move to the required position, F84 is triggered. Miele confirms this is a technical fault that cannot be remedied by the user.
Common Reasons This Fault Appears
Faulty slide shutter motor
The motor driving the slide shutter may have failed or lost power, preventing the shutter from reaching the required position.
Mechanical obstruction
Debris or a foreign object may be obstructing the slide shutter mechanism and preventing it from moving correctly.
Position sensor fault
A fault with the sensor that confirms the shutter’s position can prevent the control board from verifying that the shutter has moved correctly.
Wiring fault
A loose or damaged connection to the slide shutter motor or position sensor can cause this fault to appear.
Safe Checks You Can Try

Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A power reset can sometimes clear a temporary fault.
Miele advises that if the fault persists after a reset, the appliance cannot be repaired without professional assistance.
