What to do when F10 shows on the washer

### Kind of code Water supply

Water arrived too slowly, not at all, or kept coming after it should have stopped. The supply valves on the wall and the screens inside the fill hoses are checked before the inlet valve or the level sensor.

### Usually leads to Water inlet valve repair

A washer that will not fill, fills slowly, fills with only cold water or keeps filling, repaired at the inlet valve and its screens.

### Shows up as Washer Not Filling

The washer starts, hums or clicks, but little or no water comes into the tub, or it fills very slowly.

### Make Miele

## Questions about F10.

### Can I clear F10 myself?

Cancel the program, open the faucet fully and start again. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Where is the filter Miele means for F10?

In the end of the inlet hose at the faucet: a plastic filter behind a rubber seal that drops out when the hose end is held upside down.

### Why does Miele warn about a kinked inlet hose after F10?

The plastic can weaken and tear at the kink, so check that spot for a while after straightening it and replace the hose if it is damaged.
