Miele Dishwasher Error Code F07

F07 means the dishwasher's flow meter detected too few pulses during the water intake phase at the end of a fill cycle. The flow meter counts rotational pulses to measure how much water enters the tub, and a low pulse count tells the control board that insufficient water was delivered. This typically points to a restricted water supply, a clogged inlet filter, or a problem with the flow meter itself.

A reset may temporarily clear the F07 code, but if the underlying cause is not addressed, the error will return as soon as the machine attempts another fill cycle. Resetting is useful to confirm whether the fault is intermittent, but it should not be treated as a repair. Identify and correct the root cause before relying on the machine for a full wash cycle.

Repair costs vary depending on the cause. If the fix involves cleaning a clogged inlet filter or straightening a kinked hose, there may be no parts cost at all. If the flow meter needs replacement, parts and labor combined can typically range from around $150 to $350 or more depending on your location and service rates. A faulty control board, though less common for this code, would push costs toward the higher end of that range.

Several of the most common causes are DIY-friendly. Start by checking that the water supply valve is fully open, inspecting the inlet hose for kinks, and cleaning the filter screen on the inlet valve connection. If those steps do not resolve the error, diagnosing a faulty flow meter or wiring issue may require a technician with access to the internal components.

It is not recommended to continue running the dishwasher with an active F07 code. The machine stops the cycle specifically because it has detected that not enough water entered the tub, and running a wash without adequate water can potentially damage the pump or heating element. Resolve the fault before resuming normal use.
