Miele washer F10 code: restricted water inlet
THE SHORT ANSWER
Restricted water inlet
Miele F10 means incoming water is restricted. Check the faucet, hose, inlet filter and supply pressure.
End the program and check that the water-supply faucet is open.
Keep the cabinet closed. Never bypass the lock. Avoid electrical connections if water or damage makes access unsafe.
WORK THROUGH THE BASICS
Safe troubleshooting checks
Use the checkboxes to keep track as you read. Stop at any warning or step that does not match your appliance.
Look for a closed faucet or visible hose kink. Do not move a heavy washer alone.
What to noteThe supply hose is unobstructed.
Close the faucet first. Follow the model instructions, reinstall the filter and seal correctly, then restore water and check for leaks.
What to noteThe filter remains installed and the connection stays dry.
Restart the program. Ask a plumber or building manager about weak supply; persistent F10 with adequate supply needs Miele service.
What to noteRecord whether filling resumes.
