Error codeF92
ApplianceWasher
Quick answer
F92 on a Miele washer warns that mould may build up after long use of low-temperature programmes only. A hot cycle is the manual's remedy.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F92 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 thiscode means
F92 warns that mould may develop after long use of only low-temperature programmes.
F92 on a Miele washing machine or washer-dryer is a warning about mould, and unlike many fault codes it often has a simple owner remedy.
Why F92 shows up
If a machine runs nothing but low-temperature programmes over a long period, bacterial colonies in the form of mould can develop inside it. The display shows F92 to flag that.
What Miele tells you to do
Run the Maintenance wash programme, or the Cottons programme at maximum temperature.
Do this before washing your next load of laundry.
If the fault persists, contact Miele Customer Service or book a repair appointment.
Related codes
F56 is a spin-speed message caused by too much detergent foam.
F62 means the programme selector sits between two settings.
Should F92 return after the hot cycle, phone (310) 742-0025 for Miele washer service in Los Angeles. Let us know the code, your model number and that you already ran the Maintenance wash or a maximum-temperature Cottons programme.
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
