Possible Causes
Low refrigerant charge due to leak, blocked capillary or expansion device, compressor mechanical failure, sensor fault in heat pump circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer. The sealed refrigeration system must only be serviced by certified personnel.
User-level actions:
- Clean all filters and the condenser thoroughly to ensure maximum airflow across the heat pump.
- Ensure the dryer is installed in a room within the recommended ambient temperature range; very cold rooms can impair heat pump operation.
- If F50 persists, do not attempt to open the sealed system. Contact a Miele-authorized service provider for leak detection, pressure checks, and refrigerant handling.
