What the F600 Fault Code Means
The F600 fault code is specific to Miele dishwashers equipped with the AutoDos automatic detergent dispensing system. It indicates a fault with the dispensing outlet process — the system that releases detergent into the wash cabinet. When this fault is registered, the drain pump immediately starts running and the programme is cancelled. Miele notes that if the machine is switched off and back on again, it will immediately check whether the fault is still present.
Common Reasons This Fault Appears
Blocked AutoDos dispensing outlet
Detergent residue can build up around the dispensing outlet and restrict or block the release of detergent into the wash cabinet.
Empty or incorrectly fitted AutoDos cartridge
If the AutoDos detergent cartridge is empty or not correctly seated, the dispensing process may fail and trigger this fault.
AutoDos pump or valve fault
A fault with the pump or valve that drives detergent from the cartridge to the outlet can trigger this error.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the AutoDos cartridge
Ensure the AutoDos detergent cartridge is not empty and is correctly seated in its housing. Remove and refit to confirm a secure connection.
Clean the dispensing outlet
Check the AutoDos dispensing outlet for any visible detergent residue or blockage and clean carefully if necessary.
Restart the dishwasher
Switch the machine off and back on again. Miele notes the machine will immediately recheck for the fault — if it does not reappear, restart the programme normally.
