Miele washer F210 code: suds-circulation restriction: filter or nozzle
THE SHORT ANSWER
Suds-circulation restriction: filter or nozzle
Miele F210 indicates a suds-circulation fault. Check the door-seal nozzle and drain filter.
With the machine off, inspect the accessible nozzle at the top of the door seal for lint.
Hot suds can scald. A blocked drain may hold substantial water; control draining before removing the filter.
