Miele F153

Miele error code F153 indicates: The gas dryer stops mid-cycle and reports excessive temperature in the heating system..

The primary root cause for Miele code F153 is: The burner temperature sensor has detected overheating, usually caused by poor air circulation due to saturated lint filters or a clogged exhaust vent..

To resolve error code F153: 1. Unplug the device from the mains. 2. Completely clean all lint filters, including those located in the door and at the condenser. 3. Check that the air exhaust hose is not kinked, crushed or obstructed along its entire length. 4. Ensure adequate ventilation around the device to allow good heat dissipation. 5. If the problem recurs, the safety thermostat or temperature sensor could be faulty.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Miele code F153 persists, the physical component causing The burner temperature sensor has detected overheating, usually caused by poor air circulation due to saturated lint filters or a clogged exhaust vent. must be inspected or replaced.

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..

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.
