Miele Washer Error Code F4152

F4152 means the control board has detected switch 3S57 in an open-circuit condition. This switch monitors the status of the water shutoff valve and drain valve in your machine. The fault code directs attention to the ELP 235 plug at connection point N1L_ST24 and both valves, which should be checked for soiling or connection problems. The washer will not operate normally until the open circuit is resolved.

It is not recommended to continue running the washer while F4152 is active. The fault indicates that the control board cannot confirm the proper status of the shutoff valve and drain valve, which means water flow may not be managed correctly during a cycle. Continuing to operate the machine in this state could result in improper draining or filling behavior.

A power reset may temporarily clear the F4152 display, but the code will return if the underlying open-circuit condition has not been corrected. The fault is triggered by the control board detecting a real circuit status problem, not a random software glitch. Cleaning the valves, checking the N1L_ST24 connector, and verifying switch 3S57 operation are necessary steps before the fault will stay cleared.

Some causes of F4152 are accessible to a knowledgeable DIYer. Cleaning debris from the shutoff and drain valves and reseating the N1L_ST24 plug connector are tasks that do not require specialized tools. However, testing switch 3S57 for continuity or diagnosing wiring faults requires a multimeter and comfort working around appliance electrical components. If those steps are beyond your comfort level, a qualified technician should handle the diagnosis.

If the repair only requires cleaning the valves and reseating a connector, your cost may be limited to your time or a basic service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. If switch 3S57 or a wiring harness needs replacement, parts and labor costs can range from $150 to $400 depending on your location and the specific parts required. A failed ELP 235 module would be at the higher end of repair costs.
