Miele dishwasher F70: waterproof protection activated
THE SHORT ANSWER
Waterproof protection activated
Miele F70 means water protection has reacted. The wash is canceled and the drain pump starts. Miele explicitly directs owners to close the faucet, turn off and unplug.
Close the dishwasher water-supply faucet if safely accessible.
Avoid wet electrical connections. Disconnect only from a dry, safe point; obtain help if safe isolation is impossible.
