What the F177 Fault Code Means
The F177 fault code is a maintenance notification rather than a mechanical fault. Miele confirms that if this message is ignored, it will continue to be shown before and after each programme sequence until it is confirmed by pressing the OK button. Once acknowledged, the message will clear and the machine will operate normally.
Common Reasons This Fault Appears
Scheduled maintenance reminder
The dishwasher has reached a point in its operating cycle where a maintenance check or service reminder has been triggered.
Service interval reached
On some models, F177 appears when the machine determines that a service or inspection is due based on usage.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Acknowledge the message
Press the OK button (or confirm as directed on your model’s display) to acknowledge the F177 notification. The message should clear and the machine will continue to operate normally.
Check your user manual
Refer to your Miele dishwasher user manual for the specific maintenance task associated with F177 on your model, as the exact nature of the reminder can vary.
Restart the dishwasher
If the message does not clear after acknowledgement, switch the machine off at the mains for a few minutes, then switch back on.

When To Contact A Professional
