Error code F38
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F38 on a Miele dishwasher is an electronic module fault, a technical fault the owner cannot remedy.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F38 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Electronic module fault.

F38 appearing on a Miele dishwasher indicates an electronic module fault. Miele marks it as a technical fault outside the owner’s reach.

Course of action

Other electronic module messages include F40 and F47; F42 concerns mains frequency registration.
