No verified model list is available for this code
A manufacturer code/support source may be available, but no exact supported model has been documented for this record. Do not treat the code as a model-specific diagnosis without checking the manual.
Verify the full model number against the manufacturer manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat does this code mean?
F600 indicates a possible blockage in the AutoDos dispensing outlet or lower spray arm—not necessarily a household drain fault.
Source scope: Compatibility with specific model numbers has not been established. Always check your exact appliance manual.
The manufacturer lists this code and general meaning; compatibility with your exact model has not been verified. Follow your model manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat can you try?
- 01
Confirm this is an AutoDos warning
Note F600 exactly and confirm the dishwasher has AutoDos/PowerDisk. Stop and switch off; let it cool.
What the result means: F600 concerns the AutoDos dispensing outlet, not a generic household drain blockage.
- 02
Check the lower spray arm
Remove the lower basket. Only if the manual permits, remove the lower spray arm, clean blocked jets, rinse and refit it securely.
What the result means: It should rotate freely; do not operate if it is not properly fitted.
- 03
Clean the accessible AutoDos path
Following your exact manual, open the AutoDos lid and remove PowerDisk. Clean only the accessible dispensing residues and refit the disc and holder correctly. Do not open electrical components.
What the result means: If F600 persists, stop and request Miele service.
- 04
Test once after reassembly
With all parts correctly in place, run the appropriate programme recommended by the manufacturer. Stop if there is a leak, unusual noise or recurring fault.
What the result means: If the fault does not return, cleaning may have helped; follow the manual for your model.
Stop immediately for leaks, smoke, burning smell or electrical danger. For gas leaks, leave the area and call local emergency services.
How do you actually fix this?
Start with safe checks. Some codes have no safe home fix; in that case we explain what the professional repair actually involves.
Practical fixes you can try
- AutoDos/PowerDisk and the lower spray arm require the official version-specific cleaning procedure (AutoDos 1.0 versus 2.0).
- With the dishwasher off, check whether crockery or debris blocks the dispenser door and clean only accessible residue.
- Use the detergent and positioning recommended for the model. Clean AutoDos/PowerDisk only using its own version-specific manual.
- Do not force dispenser motors or open their electrical mechanism; stop if the cover is broken.
If it persists, how is it actually repaired?
A technician tests dispenser door travel, the drive or solenoid and the control signal, clears confirmed blockage or repairs a proven failed dispenser assembly.
How do you know it is fixed? Detergent should dispense at the normal stage without a sticking cover or returning error.
Safety and warranty: Warranty terms depend on manufacturer, model and local law. Damage caused by unauthorised disassembly or improper repair may be excluded. Live electrical work, gas, refrigerant circuits and sealed cabinets require qualified professionals; this is not a DIY instruction for those tasks.
Evidence: The manufacturer link above supports the broad code meaning. The repair pathway is a general technical diagnostic explanation, not a confirmed failed-part diagnosis for every model.
