Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F210 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Code
F210
What it means
Fault in the suds circulation system; the door-seal nozzle or the drain filter is blocked.
What you can check
Pick any fluff out of the nozzle in the upper door seal with a fingertip. Then switch off, open the pump panel, set a container underneath, and carefully clean the drain filters, making sure the impellers spin freely.
When to call a technician
If F210 stays after the nozzle and filters are clean, book a service visit. Take care with hot suds and a lot of water inside, and tighten each filter fully so it does not leak.
Where to look
Door seal nozzle: pick the fluff out carefully with a fingertip.
Drain filters and pump: see the cleaning notes below.
Cleaning the pump area
After a hot wash the suds can scald, and a blocked drain may leave plenty of water inside. Switch the machine off first, open the pump access panel and place a container under it. Turn the filters out slowly; whenever the flow needs a pause, screw them back in. When nothing more comes out, remove them and wash them well. Make sure the impellers rotate easily, taking out buttons, coins or any other foreign object and wiping the inside. Each filter returns to its own side and is tightened completely, since a filter that is not tight may leak and cause damage. Close the panel last.
If F210 is still displayed, Miele recommends contacting Customer Service or booking a repair online.
