Possible Causes
Failed humidity sensor module, Sensor contaminated by condensation, Broken sensor wiring, Faulty humidity input on control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal sensors or removing panels.
F19 is related to the humidity sensing system in Miele wine coolers that regulate relative humidity for cork preservation.
- 1. Locate the humidity sensor:
- Typically mounted near the air circulation path or on the interior wall.
- 2. Inspect sensor:
- Check for visible corrosion, water droplets, or dust buildup.
- Gently clean with a dry, lint-free cloth; do not use liquids.
- 3. Check wiring:
- Ensure the sensor connector is firmly seated on the harness and at the control board.
- 4. Replace sensor if needed:
- If F19 persists after cleaning and reseating, replace the humidity sensor module with the correct Miele part.
- 5. Control board diagnosis: If a new sensor does not clear F19, the humidity input circuit on the main board may be defective and requires professional replacement.
