Error codes and display messages
Exact manual evidence: Miele’s U.S./Canadian WXR 960 operating manual lists the messages below on printed pages 61–62. “Fault F” is a general displayed fault, not an identified numeric F-code. The manual does not establish a complete set of numeric F codes for this model.
| Manual display text | Meaning documented by Miele | Status / action |
|---|---|---|
Fault F | General fault; no component is specified by the text. | Confirmed in WXR 960 manual, p. 62. Switch off and disconnect power, wait at least two minutes, reconnect and restart once if safe; service if it returns. |
| Drainage fault | Drain is restricted or the hose is too high. | Confirmed, p. 61. Use the manual’s drain and pump section; beware hot water before handling a drain. |
| Water intake fault | Water inlet restricted, hose kinked or inlet filter blocked. | Confirmed, p. 62. Check the water faucet and accessible hose; use service if it persists. |
| Waterproof system activated | The machine’s water-protection system reacted. | Confirmed, p. 62. Close the water faucet and contact Miele service. |
Common problems
| What you notice | What to check | When to stop |
|---|---|---|
| Program will not start | The manual says to check door closure and a door-lock message. Do not force the door. | Request service if the lock message repeats. |
| Water does not enter | Manual p. 62: check that the faucet is open, the accessible inlet hose is not kinked and water pressure is adequate. | Stop for an active leak or if the fault returns. |
