What the F41 Fault Code Means
The F41 fault code indicates that the machine’s EEPROM electronic memory has developed a fault or is supplying invalid data to the control board. The EEPROM stores programme and configuration data essential for the machine to operate correctly. When this data is corrupted or unavailable, the machine stops the cycle and displays this error.
Common Reasons This Fault Appears
EEPROM memory fault
The EEPROM chip on the control board may have developed a fault, causing it to supply incorrect or corrupted data to the machine’s operating system.
Power surge or interruption
A sudden power cut or voltage spike during operation can sometimes corrupt the data stored in the EEPROM memory.
Control board fault
A wider fault on the main control board can affect the EEPROM and the data it provides.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Restart the washing machine
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for at least 2 minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A full power reset can sometimes clear a temporary memory fault.
Miele advises that if the fault persists after a reset, the appliance cannot be repaired without professional assistance.
