Symptom / Description

FAULT

The device does not produce steam and displays the code F106 on the control screen.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The steam thermoblock temperature probe (CTN) circuit is open. This may be caused by a broken probe wire or internal component failure (infinite resistance).

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Unplug the device. Access the steam generator and inspect the NTC probe wiring. Test the probe for continuity with a multimeter. If the measurement indicates an open circuit (infinite resistance), the probe is defective and must be replaced.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Disconnect 230V electrical mains power before removing appliance side or rear panels.
  • !Ensure tub water or heating chamber has cooled below 30°C before unclipping thermistor probe.
  • !Use CAT III 600V/1000V insulated test probes when tng at PCB edge connectors.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Inspect sensor immersion sleeve for calcification, limescale scale, or thermal paste degradation.
  • Check wiring harness for pinch points, chafing against chassis metal, and terminal pin oxidation.
  • Verify probe is firmly seated in its rubber grommet or bracket inside the water/air circuit.
Perform these diagnostic steps before triggering AI Deep Search or replacing boards.Certified Workshop Routine

FAQ TREE
What does error code F106 mean on a Miele appliance?

Miele error code F106 indicates: The device does not produce steam and displays the code F106 on the control screen..

What is the root cause of Miele error code F106?

The primary root cause for Miele code F106 is: The steam thermoblock temperature probe (CTN) circuit is open. This may be caused by a broken probe wire or internal component failure (infinite resistance)..

How do I fix or resolve Miele error code F106?

To resolve error code F106: Unplug the device. Access the steam generator and inspect the NTC probe wiring. Test the probe for continuity with a multimeter. If the measurement indicates an open circuit (infinite resistance), the probe is defective and must be replaced.

Is it safe to clear Miele error code F106 by resetting power?

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Miele code F106 persists, the physical component causing The steam thermoblock temperature probe (CTN) circuit is open. This may be caused by a broken probe wire or internal component failure (infinite resistance). must be inspected or replaced.

How do I test electrical resistance for Miele code F106 using a multimeter?

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test NTC Temperature Sensor Probe (Thermistor) across Across sensor pins 1-2 (unplugged harness). Expected nominal reading is 4.8kΩ–12kΩ (at 20°C–25°C). Tolerance: Negative temperature coefficient: resistance drops smoothly when warmed with fingers. OL = open circuit..

What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Miele code F106?

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
