Miele Dryer Error Code F62

Miele Dryer Error Code F62

Error code F62 indicates a moisture sensor malfunction or failure on your Miele dryer. This sensor is responsible for detecting when clothes are dry and stopping the cycle automatically to prevent over-drying and damage to your garments.

Symptoms

• Dryer continues running longer than expected even when clothes feel dry
• Dryer stops mid-cycle unexpectedly
• Clothes come out excessively damp or overly dry
• Error code F62 displays on the control panel
• Dryer may not start or respond to button inputs
• Drying cycles take significantly longer to complete
• Electronic display may flicker or show inconsistent readings

Possible Causes

• Moisture sensor contacts are dirty, corroded, or covered with lint and fabric softener buildup
• Faulty or failing moisture sensor element requiring replacement
• Loose or disconnected wiring harness to the moisture sensor
• Control board malfunction preventing proper sensor signal interpretation
• Excessive humidity in laundry room affecting sensor calibration
• Overloading dryer beyond capacity reducing sensor effectiveness
• Power supply issues due to 240V circuit problems or inadequate voltage delivery
• Condensation or water damage to sensor components from blocked vent system

Safe Checks You Can Do

• Check your home's circuit breaker panel and ensure the dryer's dedicated 240V circuit breaker is in the ON position; if tripped, switch OFF then back ON
• Open the dryer door and visually inspect the moisture sensor (typically located inside the drum or on the back wall) for visible lint, dust, or debris
• Gently clean the moisture sensor contacts with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove any buildup
• Remove and thoroughly clean the lint filter trap, then check the exhaust vent hose for blockages or restrictions that may cause moisture backup
• Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches firmly with an audible click
• Avoid overloading the dryer; fill it only three-quarters full to allow proper air circulation and sensor function
• Perform a complete system reset by turning OFF the circuit breaker for 60 seconds, then switch it back ON and attempt a test cycle
• Check that the dryer vent on the exterior of your home is not blocked by lint, bird nests, or weather debris, and ensure the damper opens freely
