Carefully remove lint from the nozzle at the top of the door seal with your finger. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Where is the nozzle Miele means for F210? At the top of the door sealing ring. Lint collects there and can be removed carefully by hand. ### Why does Miele send me to the drain filter for F210? A blocked drain filter is the other cause Miele lists for the circulation problem, so both are cleaned. --- **[Read on the site: Miele washer showing F210 | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f210/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
