Error code F13
Appliance Steam Oven
Quick answer

F13 signals a compartment that is too hot. Two causes: a part-open intake valve, or a nozzle with scale or a blockage.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F13 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Oven compartment temperature too high.

Too much heat in the cooking compartment is what F13 means on a steam or combination steam oven by Miele.

At a glance

Code F13
What it means Oven compartment temperature too high.
What you can check Fully open the water intake valve and restart. If F13 comes back, let the cavity cool with the door open, then descale the water nozzle, rinse the water circuit and refit it.
When to call a technician Book a service visit if F13 will not clear after the valve and nozzle steps. Take care around hot steam and surfaces and always wear oven gloves.

Start with the valve

  • If the water intake valve is only part open, open it completely and restart.

Then the nozzle

The manual says a scaled or clogged water nozzle must be descaled when F13 appears. Mind the hot steam and surfaces: ease the door open and keep oven gloves on.

  • Wait for a few buzzer tones, remove food and leave the door open to cool the oven.
  • Pull out the side runners, then the nozzle.
  • Descale with Miele system agent or another suitable product; rinse well under the tap.
  • Rinse the whole water circuit before the nozzle goes in again. The settings are Steam cooking at 100 °C for 1 minute, started with Start/Stop.
  • Once cooling down has finished, open the door and put back the nozzle and runners.

Easily confused

  • F12: water fails to enter the oven.
  • F20: the compartment fails to warm during heating-up, the reverse problem.
