F70 means that water is in the bottom tray of the Dishwasher - this could be for several reasons - Ranging from using to much soap to a faulty seal. Most Mieles have a panel at the toe kick that can be opened to extract the water and allow the unit to dry out - remove the toe kick and look for the panel in the center of the unit - two T20 Screws securing it
On our very old (20 yr +) Miele dishwasher, this was due to a deteriorated soft white rubber hose attached to the main circulation pump. A resultant spray of water shortly after wet the electrics and tripped the circuit breaker. Fixed with some automotive hose and hose clips; now waiting for it all to dry out and see if it works in a he morning. This is the second time, same fault, different hose.

Hi,
it is the float switch in the base of the unit, which registers a water leak. you are probably using too much detergent and it is overflowing into the base.

When this problem happened to our machine, it was simply the pipes under the sink where the dishwasher drain pipe fits were blocked with muck. This was preventing the one way valve connecting the drain hose to the household waste from fully opening thus preventing the machine complete its drain cycle.
Solution was to thoroughly clean the sink drain pipes - plunger, power plunger and then a dose of chemical cleaner. Dishwasher is as right as rain now:)

F70 means the float switch in the bottom catch pan has been activated. This could be due to an internal leak in the dishwasher or oversudsing.
SOURCE: miele dishwasher had F85 on the screen
Hi
On that model to save water and energy water is sent to bottom and middle spray arms alternately. This is done via a shutter in the circulation motor. F85 mean this shutter is jammed,Most likely with debris,But is possible motor is faulty

hi,
A F70 fault is the float switch in the base of the unit which is activated due to water in the base. you may have used too much detergent or the wrong detergent causing the unit to over sud or you have a genuine water leak. the continous running noise is the drain pump trying to remove any water.
you need to remove the bottom panel, turn the power off and dry up the water with a towel. then run it again and see if you can see a leak.
hope this helps
