Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for F70 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the faucet that feeds the dishwasher.
Turn the machine off and pull the plug; the drain pump then stops.
Book a visit so the leak can be found before the dishwasher is used again.
What not to do
F70 is not something to clear and forget. Miele's instruction is to shut off the water and call for service.
