Flow Meter / Turbine Sensor Fault
The F67 error code means the flow meter (turbine sensor) in your Miele dishwasher is not sending valid signals to the control board. The flow meter measures the volume of water entering the machine — without accurate data, the board cannot control fill levels and triggers F67.

Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
No. Without accurate flow metering, the dishwasher may overfill (flood risk) or underfill (pump damage from running dry). Do not use until F67 is resolved.
Can I reset the code?
Yes. Yes. Turn off at mains for 5 minutes. If the issue was air in the line or a transient sensor glitch, the reset should clear it.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: The machine consistently overfills with water, F67 returns on every cycle after reset and filter cleaning.
Symptoms You May Notice
Machine overfills or underfills
Without flow data, the board may let too much or too little water in
Cycle stops during the fill phase
The board aborts the cycle when it cannot verify how much water has entered
F67 appears at cycle start
The code typically triggers during the initial fill sequence when the flow meter should be sending data
Inconsistent fill levels between cycles
One cycle may fill correctly while the next does not — the sensor signal is erratic
Possible Causes
Clogged Flow Meter
Sediment, mineral deposits, or debris has reached the flow meter turbine and jammed it or slowed it down.
DIY PossibleFailed Flow Meter Sensor
The Hall-effect sensor that reads the turbine rotation has failed electrically.
Requires ProfessionalWiring or Connector Issue
A loose plug or damaged wire between the flow meter and the control board interrupts the signal.
Requires ProfessionalAir in the Water Line
Air bubbles in the supply line can cause the turbine to spin erratically, sending inconsistent signals.
DIY PossibleLow Water Pressure
If water flow is too slow, the turbine may not spin at the minimum required speed to generate a valid signal.
DIY PossibleSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Check the Water Supply
Verify the tap is fully open and water pressure is adequate. Run the kitchen tap — strong flow confirms good pressure.
If other fixtures were running simultaneously, wait until they stop and try again.
-
2
Bleed Air from the Line
Turn the water tap off, disconnect the inlet hose from the tap (have a bucket ready), turn the tap on briefly to flush air and sediment, then reconnect.
After reconnecting, the first cycle may need a few seconds longer to fill as remaining air clears.
-
3
Clean the Inlet Filter
Unscrew the inlet hose from the dishwasher end. Remove and clean the mesh filter — sediment reaching the flow meter is a common cause.
In areas with old pipes or recent plumbing work, extra sediment is common.

4
Power Reset
Turn off at mains for 5 minutes. The flow meter controller may need to recalibrate its baseline.
After a reset, the first fill may take slightly longer as the system relearns.
-
5
Run Multiple Cycles
If F67 appeared once, run 2–3 cycles after the reset. An intermittent F67 suggests air or debris, while a persistent one points to sensor failure.
Log whether F67 appears at the same point in each cycle.
When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified Miele technician if:
- F67 persists after bleeding the line and cleaning the inlet filter
- The fill level is consistently wrong (overfill or underfill)
- The flow meter turbine does not spin when water flows through it
- F67 appears with F12 or F13 — indicating multiple intake system issues
- The machine is under warranty
