## What users may observe

- F601 is shown on the Miele dishwasher display, indicator, or connected app
- The published condition is: AutoDos automatic-dispensing fault

Use only for the stated model and region. The linked manufacturer source remains authoritative, and an error code alone does not prove that a component has failed.
