Cancel the program, open the hot water faucet and restart. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Miele show F15 when cold washes work fine? F15 concerns only the hot water inlet, so a closed hot faucet or a clogged hot filter will not affect cold programs. ### Must the hot water filter go back in after cleaning it for F15? Yes. Miele stresses that the hot water inlet filter has to be put back in place after cleaning. --- **[Read on the site: Miele washer showing F15 | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f15/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
