Error code F52
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

F52 means a sensor detected foam from too much detergent or rinse aid, and the wash programme was interrupted.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F52 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

Excess quantity of detergent or rinse aid dispensed; foam detected.

Fault F52 on a Miele dishwasher means too much detergent or rinse aid has been dispensed. A sensor has detected too much foam inside the appliance, and the wash programme has been interrupted.

Clearing the message

  1. Set the programme selector to Stop/End. With light-touch switches, press and hold Start/Stop for around 5 seconds instead.
  2. Switch the appliance off, then back on again.

Avoiding a repeat

If your tabs already contain rinse aid, select the Combi tab function where your model has one. Do not use tabs with the Quick wash 40 °C programme.

Related codes

  • F601: a fault in the AutoDos automatic dispensing system.
  • F600: AutoDos is blocked and the programme is cancelled.
  • F51: pump pressure level switch fault.
