Miele Dryer Error Code F2

Miele Dryer Error Code F2

Error code F2 on Miele dryers indicates a heating element failure or thermal sensor malfunction. This error prevents the dryer from generating heat needed to dry your laundry effectively.

Symptoms

• Dryer runs but produces little to no heat
• Clothes remain wet or damp after a full cycle
• Error code F2 displays on the control panel
• Drum rotates normally but heating is absent
• Cycle may complete but drying results are poor

Possible Causes

• Faulty heating element (most common cause)
• Defective thermal sensor or thermistor
• Broken heating element thermal cutoff fuse
• Loose or corroded electrical connections to heating element
• Airflow restriction causing thermal sensor to trigger safety shutoff
• Failed relay or contactor on the heating circuit
• Tripped 240V circuit breaker dedicated to the dryer
• Wiring issue between power supply and heating assembly

Safe Checks You Can Do

• Check that the dryer's dedicated 240V circuit breaker in your home electrical panel is in the ON position; if tripped, turn it OFF then back ON
• Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly before each use, ensuring no lint debris blocks airflow
• Inspect the external dryer vent on your home's exterior to ensure it is not blocked by lint, ice, or debris
• Verify the dryer vent hose is properly connected and not kinked or crushed
• Avoid overloading the dryer drum; dry loads should fill approximately three-quarters of the drum capacity
• Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches securely with an audible click
• Perform a complete power reset by switching the circuit breaker to OFF, waiting 60 seconds, then switching it back to ON
• Run a test cycle to confirm if error clears after reset
• Contact a certified Miele technician if error persists after these checks, as heating element replacement requires professional service
