Miele dishwasher F177: filter-cleaning reminder
THE SHORT ANSWER
Filter-cleaning reminder
Miele F177 is a filter-cleaning reminder triggered after a predefined number of programs. It repeats before and after programs until cleaning is confirmed.
Check when the dishwasher filters were last cleaned.
Follow the model instructions for filter access and refitting; watch for sharp debris.
WORK THROUGH THE BASICS
Safe troubleshooting checks
Use the checkboxes to keep track as you read. Stop at any warning or step that does not match your appliance.
Clean the filters as the operating instructions describe and refit them correctly.
What to noteThe filters are clean and secured.
Press OK only after cleaning has been carried out.
What to noteThe completed maintenance is acknowledged on the display.
THE DETAILS MATTER
Scope & troubleshooting notes
Reminder versus diagnosis
A program-count reminder is not proof that a pump has failed. Confirming the message without cleaning leaves the requested maintenance undone.
