Type DGC 6805 ED/CS/NL
I was able to solve the f11 on my DGC 6800.
Even though f11 is drainage problem i can also be a Descaling issue.
Let me explain
Inside the steam generator there is a water level probe. If that probe for any reason keeps sensing water no matter what, you get an f11 error that means drainage problem. I am assuming that you already checked that drain pump is working and you are still getting the f11.
To fix it try the following:
1. check if pinch valve works. it should cycle close-open on oven power-up.
2. Disconnect the grey pipe on the bottom and gently blow in it. Air should pass trough the steam generator and out the two pipes that lead into the oven. It should be relatively easy to to blow trough.
If you are still getting the f11 you have a Descaling problem. Try the following:
Find a white connector on the side of the main electronic board. You will recognize it since it only has one black wire in it that is thinner than all other black wires. Pull that connector off and leave it off for now. It is steam generators water level probe that is shorted with heavy scale deposits an is falsely reporting high water level.
Mix up a few batches of descaling solutions. You can use Miele descaling tablets (always use two when descaling as per instruction) or you can mix your own by dissolving 100mg of pure citric acid into 1litre of water. With the connector still off run a descaling program a few times. You will get an error f10 after rinsing with fresh water. Don't mind the error. Just turn off the oven and restart it. It will tell you to descale again. Just repeat a few times with descaling solution followed by fresh water rinse and the f10 at the end. When you think you got all the scale deposits out, reconnect the connector and do one last descaling cycle. This time the cycle should go trough and oven should be operational again.
This is why this works:
There is a water level probe inside the steam generator. It is in shape of a pin that shorts to ground when water level rises enough to connect with this pin. Problem is that scale deposit can bridge the pin to ground permanently. The oven opens the pinch valve to let the water out. Since water level probe is still shorted due to scale deposits it assumes that the water didn't drain and gives an f11 "drain problem" error. By disconnecting the connector, we just disabled the ovens ability to sense water level so it assumes everything is fine. First part of descaling program doesn't use the probe (foaming would cause false readings) so it goes trough without the problem. On fresh water rinse probe is needed and since it is disconnected oven thinks that water is not being pumped and spits out an f10 "Water intake" error. Once probe's scale deposit bridge is melted away by descaling solution it's water sensing ability is restored.
Please use caution when handling any power appliances. Disconnect power before you touch anything!

I disconnected the drain where it enters the S bend from the sink. I found the nozzle into the S bend was blocked. I probed this with a screwdriver and cleared the blockage then I reconnected the drain. I turned on the dishwasher again and the F11 code was cleared. The dishwasher operated ok again.

F19 is water in the cabinet takes too long to heat up. you can reset the heater limiter..
Reset the error message as follows: To cancel the error message, turn the rotary selector switch to "Stop/End" or press the "Start/Stop" switch for approx. 5 secs. Then switch the appliance off and then back on again. If the fault message reappears
take off service panel press button on the heater limiter red-brown located on the left side of the plinth...
hope it helps
