F10 means a Miele countertop coffee machine is not drawing in water. Miele lists a tank cycle, a filter clean and descaling.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F10 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
F10
What it means
F10 is a no-water-intake fault on countertop coffee machines.
What you can check
Fill the water container 3/4 with fresh water and slot it in and out 10 to 20 times, clean the intake and container filters if dirty, then descale following your operating instructions.
When to call a technician
Still no water after the container, filters and descaling have all been dealt with? A technician should take over.
Water container
Fill the container 3/4 full with fresh drinking water, then slot it into the machine and remove it again 10-20 times.
Filters
From serial number 152922013 onwards, inspect the filter in the water intake valve, found in the recess where the container sits, and clean it if it looks dirty.
The container filter is beneath the container. Unscrew the cap and lift out the sealing ring and filter.
Wash by hand in water alone, because cleaning agents can leave unpleasant flavours, and rinse well under the tap.
Reassemble in this order: filter with the cross upwards, sealing ring with its opening down, then the cap screwed on firmly. Slide the container back in.
Descaling
Descale next, using the procedure in your machine’s operating instructions.
