Error codes for washing machines Mile

With long-term operation, even the most reliable household appliances can cause any breakdowns caused by wear of components, external impact on the unit. Mile automatic machines have the ability to conduct a self-diagnosis of malfunctions, and if defects are detected in the system, display an error code on the display. To make it easier for the user to understand what the highlighted combination of letters and numbers indicates, we will provide a detailed description of the error codes for Miele washing machines.

Problems with heating

To carry out repairs and eliminate the malfunction that arises, you need to know what actions should be taken with a certain error. First, let's analyze the codes that appear when the thermostats and heaters fail.

1. F01 indicates that the drying temperature sensor is defective. This can occur due to a short circuit in the thermistor that controls the temperature in the drying chamber. The solution to the problem is achieved in two ways - by completely replacing the part or by repairing damaged wiring sections.
2. F02, F03, F04 indicate that there are some problems with the temperature sensor drying. There may be a disconnection of the connecting wires of the thermostat, a short in the connecting circuit or a breakdown of the sensor. To correct the situation, you should test all the contacts between the thermistor and the module, if working with the connections does not help, replace the element with a working one.
3. F20 indicates that a malfunction has occurred in the water heating system in the tank. It is necessary to check the heater and the temperature sensor of the washing machine for operability. If a defect is found in one of the parts, it should be replaced.
4. F29 says that the drying heating element is not functioning. An urgent replacement of the heater is needed.
5. F83 indicates that the temperature in the drying chamber exceeded the permissible value. The thermistor and heating element should be checked for operability; if a malfunction is detected, replace the parts.

Before you start repairing the Miele washing machine, be sure to turn off the power to the appliance, disconnect it from the house utilities.

Problems with temperature sensors or heating elements in automatic machines are easy to fix with your own hands. Before undertaking repairs, be sure to read the detailed manual for action.

Problems with collecting and draining water

In some cases, problems may arise with the intake of water from the water supply network or the discharge of waste liquid. DTCs will notify you of this:

• F10 reports a problem with water being poured into the tank. The reason for this may be a blockage in the inlet hose, problems with the main control module, or blocking the shut-off valve. Depending on the occasion, the solution may be to open the inlet valve, clean the hose or diagnose the control board.
• F11 indicates that no water is being drained. This can occur due to clogging of the drain hose, filter or pump, as well as low pressure in the water supply system. Check the pressure in the water supply, if it is normal, clean the drain pipe, pump and filter.
• F15 indicates that hot water is being drawn into the tank. Check that the inlet hose is connected correctly.
• F19 indicates a malfunction of the water level sensor. Inspect the pressure switch; a foreign object may have fallen into it.
• F51 indicates the need to replace the pressure switch.
• F96 warns that alternative water supply will not turn on. You can fix the error by checking the relevant items.

Having identified the cause of the failure of the AGR and sorted out the root cause of the malfunction, it is possible to restore the unit's performance on its own, without inviting a professional to carry out the repair.

Hatch door problems

Two designations indicate problems with opening and closing the hatch completely. F34 speaks of a loose hatch. The reason for this may be the wear of the door parts: lock, handle or tongue, or failure of the hatch lock device. Replace broken parts.

F35 notes the impossibility of opening the hatch. Most likely, a blockage was formed in the keyhole, or there was a malfunction in the operation of the electronic board. Carefully open the hatch and clean the lock. If this is not the case, repair the control board.

Repair of the main control board requires certain skills and knowledge, therefore it is better to invite a specialist to carry out the work.

Other codes

When operating the machine, the following symbols may suddenly appear on the display:

• F16 says a lot of foam in the drum. This could happen due to an excess of the dose of washing powder or incorrect operation of the drain system. Check the hose for draining the waste water and the pump for blockages. You can remove the foam by running the Rinse mode.
