Miele dishwasher error code F607

What Miele publishes for it

On a Miele dishwasher, the manufacturer publishes this for the lower spray arm is blocked or the jets of the lower spray arm…. 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

The largest block in this archive, and the one with the most conditions an owner can clear without a visit — the water side of a Miele dishwasher reports itself in detail, and several of these numbers mean a filter, a hose or a tap rather than a part.

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 lower spray arm is blocked or the jets of the lower spray arm are clogged.
• The AutoDos function is automatically deactivated during the program sequence because the AutoDos detergent outlet cannot be completely flushed out.
• Messages appear in the display.
• Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm counterclockwise
• And pull the spray arm upward to remove
• Reinstall the lower spray arm and ensure that the filter combination lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet.
• Rotate the screw thread of the lower spray arm clockwise until the arrow in the viewing window points to the lock symbol.
• To confirm each message.
• Dishes are blocking the AutoDos detergent outlet.

Worth trying yourself, in this order

1. Turn the dishwasher off and back on again.
2. Check that the lower spray arm is able to rotate freely and rearrange the items in the dishwasher if they are blocking the spray arm.
3. Clean the lower spray arm as follows:
4. Remove the lower basket.
5. Use a pointed object to push food particles that are stuck in the spray arm jets into the spray arm.
6. Rinse the spray arm thoroughly under running water.
7. Check that the spray arm can be rotated freely.
8. Select
9. Restart the program.
10. Clear the lower basket so that the spray jets can reach the AutoDos detergent outlet.

Then what

Start with the water, because on a Miele dishwasher this is where the owner's half of the diagnosis lives. The tap, the inlet filter, the hose and the drain account for most of the conditions the machine can report, and all four are reachable without tools. South Florida's water leaves scale in the inlet filter faster than the manual expects, so a filter that was clean a year ago is not clean now.

Miele publishes this one for the dishwashers. The full Miele archive 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.
