How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the control board.
- Power reset: Turn off the appliance at the breaker or unplug for at least 5 minutes, then restore power to see if F40 clears.
- Inspect board: Remove the control board cover and look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or scorch marks.
- Check for moisture: Ensure there are no signs of water ingress near the control area. Address any leak sources before replacing the board.
- Verify grounds: Confirm that the appliance ground connection is secure; poor grounding can contribute to electronic faults.
- Replace board: If visible damage is present or F40 persists after reset, replace the main control PCB with the correct Miele part number.
Warning: Static discharge can damage new boards. Use proper ESD precautions during handling.
