Miele refrigerator code table

Scan by code, meaning, and severity, then open the exact detail page when you need step-by-step guidance.

F0
The refrigerator has detected a fault with the BioFresh or fresh air sensor. This applies to Miele models equipped with a BioFresh drawer. The sensor monitors conditions in the BioFresh compartment and a fault here prevents optimal humidity and temperature control in that zone.
medium severity
F1
The refrigerator has detected a fault with the main refrigerating chamber temperature sensor (NTC). The unit cannot accurately monitor the fresh food compartment temperature. This is a high-severity code — move perishable food if the fault persists.
high severity
F2
The refrigerator has detected a fault with the evaporator temperature sensor. The evaporator sensor monitors the cooling coil temperature to ensure the refrigeration cycle is operating correctly. A fault here can affect cooling efficiency across all compartments.
high severity
F3
The refrigerator has detected a fault with the air sensor in the freezer compartment. The sensor monitors freezer air temperature to maintain proper frozen food storage conditions. If this sensor fails, the freezer may not maintain safe temperatures.
high severity
F22
The refrigerator has detected a general temperature control fault. The unit cannot maintain the set temperature correctly, which may be caused by a control board issue or a thermistor failure. This is a high-severity code — food safety may be affected.
high severity
F383
The refrigerator has detected a fault in the refrigeration system itself. Codes F383, F384, and F385 all indicate sealed system or compressor-level faults. These are the most serious refrigerator fault codes — move all food immediately and contact Miele service.
high severity
ICE
The refrigerator has detected a fault with the ice maker. The ice maker has stopped producing ice and is reporting an error. This code may also appear as 01_22_F on some Miele models.
low severity

Common symptom shortcuts

These clusters give users another way into the list when they know the symptom but not the code.

Drain and standing water problems

  • ICE - The refrigerator has detected a fault with the ice maker. The ice maker has stopped producing ice and is reporting an error. This code may also appear as 01_22_F on some Miele models.

Leaks, fill, and water-path issues

  • ICE - The refrigerator has detected a fault with the ice maker. The ice maker has stopped producing ice and is reporting an error. This code may also appear as 01_22_F on some Miele models.

Sensor and temperature faults

  • F0 - The refrigerator has detected a fault with the BioFresh or fresh air sensor. This applies to Miele models equipped with a BioFresh drawer. The sensor monitors conditions in the BioFresh compartment and a fault here prevents optimal humidity and temperature control in that zone.
  • F1 - The refrigerator has detected a fault with the main refrigerating chamber temperature sensor (NTC). The unit cannot accurately monitor the fresh food compartment temperature. This is a high-severity code — move perishable food if the fault persists.
  • F2 - The refrigerator has detected a fault with the evaporator temperature sensor. The evaporator sensor monitors the cooling coil temperature to ensure the refrigeration cycle is operating correctly. A fault here can affect cooling efficiency across all compartments.
