Miele Miele TwinDos machines fault codes
The automatic two-phase detergent system. Brings four codes no other Miele can show, F211 to F214, and Miele state you can carry on using the machine with manual dispensing while they are showing. The F231 that people search for is not a published Miele code; its page explains what it is likely to be.
Codes on the Miele TwinDos machines follow the same Miele scheme as the rest of the range. Where a code behaves differently on this generation, the code page says so.

- F11The drain is restricted. Miele publish a maximum drain height of one metre, and they warn that straightening a kinked hose can weaken it enough to split later.Get it checked
- F10Water is not getting in. Miele point at the stopcock and the inlet filter, and both are owner jobs on their own guidance.Get it checked
- F34The door could not be locked. Miele’s manual says close the door again and restart; their website adds an overloaded drum and a two-minute power-off. Try those before calling.Get it checked
- F20Miele publish two readings of F20: the Thermostop pausing the programme until the water is at temperature, which is not a fault, and a genuine heating fault with a two-minute power-off before booking.Get it checked
- F138The Waterproof system has found water in the floor tray. Close the stopcock and unplug — the drain pump keeps running until you do.Get it checked
