502 errors won't be visible in your IIS logs because they are returned by the front end server which basically fowards the requests to the worker hosting your site and there are many reasons why the front end can return 502 error.

Please follow https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/app-service-web-troubleshoot-http-502-http-503/ to troubleshoot the issue and see if you can identify which one you are running into
