I'm pretty sure I'm overthinking this. I noticed the detail on CODE. But when it comes to using that detail and the numbers here, I'm having trouble figuring out how far to take it. Yeah, we have three facets on four "tumblers". How many more facets, and which direction thru the alphabet should they go? Even tried making up words from the letters visible to run through the solution checker, but No Luck. I could use another hint, please.
You're very close to getting it. Each tumbler contains the alphabet in the same order, i.e. top to bottom. You have the code number for this puzzle, and you can see the arrows, so rotate each tumbler the appropriate number of clicks in the corresponding direction and you'll find a word.
To help, the first letter is
We‘ve turned all the tumblers the appropriate number in the indicated directions and even got a word with the correct first letter as our „solution“ but somehow it doesn’t appear to be correct. What are we missing??
Okay this is bugging me. I know the answer but can not get the 3rd letter to work. Start at F, turn the tumbler up 6 times and you get G S T U J K, so K instead of L. Not sure what I am doing wrong as the other 3 tumblers work.>!

What word did you get?

Last letter is one letter off.

The tumblers are alphabetical, so you go from F to L - six letters away.
Got it. I was stacking them left to right which coincidentally almost works out also.
