Common Miele Appliance Error Codes

Got a problem with your Miele appliance? Don’t worry. Most Miele error codes clearly tell you what’s gone wrong and what you need to do to fix it.
Alternatively, you might have noticed that your tumble dryer isn’t drying properly. Or that your Miele washing machine doesn’t spin like it used to.
In both cases, a quick check of what the relevant Miele error codes mean is the best place to start.

So if you:

• Own a Miele washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher;
• Are seeing a strange message on the diplay of your appliance;
• Want to know what this means.

Then, read on!

Common Miele washing machine fault codes

Miele appliances are known for their reliability. But even the best-made appliances can start to suffer after long use. Luckily, most Miele washing machine error codes are easy to spot. They appear on your appliance’s display panel. Then all you need to do is consult a list of codes like the one below.

There aren’t many Miele washing machine fault codes that you can deal with yourself. Usually, if it’s anything more than checking the filters and the pipes, you’ll need an expert. But for any draining issues or water intake problems, a quick filter clean and waste pipe check is a good place to start.

For more complicated Miele fault codes, washing machine repair services are the way to go. You don’t want to be messing around inside your machine’s electronics or heating systems if you don’t have the right training and experience.

With that out of the way, here’s a full Miele washing machine fault codes list:

• F1 / F2 – NTC heater sensor has short-circuited

Common Miele tumble dryer fault codes

Thanks to Meile appliances having a pretty smart self-diagnosis system, one quick check of your display panel should tell you what kind of problem you’re experiencing.

Unfortunately, you’ll need a tumble dryer repair expert to handle most Miele tumble dryer errors. A quick clear of the filter to make sure there’s not been a build-up of lint is usually all of the DIY maintenance you can or should perform on these appliances.

When you’re faced with an error, there’s no need to go digging around to find your old appliance manual though. Here you’ll find all Miele tumble dryer fault codes in a handy list format:

• F1 – NTC heater sensor short-circuited
• F2 – NTC heater sensor open circuit
• F3 – NTC fan sensor short-circuited
• F4 – NTC fan sensor open circuit

• F55 – Laundry isn’t dry after 180 minutes

Common Miele dishwasher fault codes

Checking your dishwasher’s display panel is the first step when you notice something isn’t quite right. The highly effective self-diagnosis system that Miele appliances come fitted with ensures that if something goes wrong, the machine is usually “aware” of the problem. Then all you need to do is consult a list of Miele dishwasher fault codes (like the one below) to see what the problem is.

Some Miele dishwasher error codes you can try to resolve yourself. For example, when you’re experiencing draining issues (F11) or water intake errors (F12/ F13), you should be able to check your dishwasher’s filters and water intake pipe to make sure everything is okay. For most of the rest of the issues on this list though, you’ll want to call in a tumble dryer repair expert:

• F01 – Water heater NTC short-circuited
• F02 – Water heater NTC open circuit
• F11 – Draining issue/Drain pump or filter blocked
