Error code F50
Appliance Dryer
Quick answer

Miele dryers show F50 when the load is too large for the programme chosen.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F50 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

Owner steps

  1. Do not go over the maximum load size for the selected drying programme (see the operating instructions).

At a glance

Code F50
What it means Drum too full.
What you can check Keep the load at or below the maximum size for the chosen drying programme, then switch the dryer off and on again. If F50 appeared about a minute after you opened the door to add laundry, power it off and on right away.
When to call a technician If F50 will not clear after you reduce the load and restart, treat it as a technical fault and book a service visit. Mention what you removed from the drum.

Still showing F50

A code that will not clear is a technical fault, and the next step is Miele Customer Service.

Also check

  • F53 if the display shows a drive motor or module fault instead.
  • F99 when the appliance is disabled.
