Miele Washer Error Code F4167

F4167 means the ELP 235 power monitoring module detected a break in the power supply lasting 100 milliseconds or more. The washer logs this fault to alert you to a power reliability problem, which could originate from the home's electrical supply or from a component inside the machine. The error causes the washer to halt its current operation until the issue is addressed.

It is not advisable to continue running the washer while F4167 is active without investigating the cause. Repeated power interruptions can potentially damage sensitive control electronics over time. If the source is an unstable circuit or loose wiring, there is also a broader electrical safety concern that should be resolved promptly.

If the issue is simply a faulty wall outlet or circuit problem, repair costs may range from around $50 to $200 depending on the electrical work involved. If the ELP 235 module itself needs replacement, parts and labor combined can range from $150 to $400 or more, depending on parts availability and local labor rates. Getting a diagnostic visit from a Miele-authorized technician will give you a more accurate estimate for your specific situation.

Some causes of F4167 are DIY-friendly. Start by confirming the washer is plugged directly into a dedicated wall outlet and not an extension cord or power strip, and check that the outlet and circuit breaker are functioning properly. If the error continues after ruling out external power issues, the internal wiring or ELP 235 module will need evaluation, which typically requires a qualified technician.

Resetting the washer may clear the code temporarily, but the fault will return if the underlying cause has not been corrected. A reset does not address the power interruption that triggered the error in the first place. Use the reset to confirm whether the problem is intermittent or persistent, and continue diagnosing from there.
