# Miele washing machine error code F34

### What Miele publishes for it

On a Miele washing machine, the manufacturer publishes this for the drum has been overloaded. That sentence is Miele’s own, read off its published support page for this condition rather than worked out from the outside. Everything below it — what the condition covers and what is worth doing first — is ours, written from what this equipment does in Miami kitchens.

### What this block of conditions is about

Miele writes the condition as F and a number on the W1 machines and on the professional Little Giants alike, and the numbering runs further here than on anything else it builds — past F200 and past F300. The high numbers are not more serious than the low ones; they are a later block of the same list.

### What it covers

What a published cause names is a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before anybody orders a part. This one covers:

- The drum has been overloaded.
- Observe the maximum load size in accordance with the operating instructions.
- There is a technical condition.
- At least 2 minutes
- Before reconnecting the washing machine to the power supply.
- Then switch the washing machine on again.

### Worth trying yourself, in this order

- Switch the appliance off and then back on again.
- Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply. Unplug the appliance or switch off the breaker.
- Wait

### Then what

Try it in that order before booking anything. A Miele washer is a machine that reports precisely, so when a code clears after the owner has done what the maker asks, it has usually told the truth about what was wrong. If it comes straight back on a machine you have already reset, stop repeating the cycle: on the W1 and the Little Giants alike, a repeated lock or drain condition is a part, and running it again with a load in it only leaves you with wet laundry.

Miele publishes this one for the washing machines. The [full Miele archive](https://mielemiami.support/error-codes/) has the other conditions, searchable, and on this make the same number appears on more than one machine roughly a third of the time, so the appliance above is part of the answer. We repair this equipment across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
