F10 shows when water cannot flow into a Miele washing machine or washer-dryer properly. Four checks are listed by Miele.
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.
Plain language
What thiscode means
Water inlet blocked or restricted.
Where F10 comes from
The washing machine or washer-dryer is not receiving enough water. The manual points to four causes, in this order.

F10
What it means
Water inlet blocked or restricted.
What you can check
Check the stopcock is open, clean the inlet filter after closing the stopcock, straighten any kinked hose, and confirm full flow delivers at least 5 liters in 15 seconds.
When to call a technician
If F10 stays after these checks, arrange a service visit. A damaged hose needs replacing, and weak supply pressure may need a plumber.
Stopcock
If it is closed, end the programme, open it, choose the programme and restart.
Inlet filter
Shut the stopcock, then unscrew the hose from it. Lift the rubber seal out of its recess and hold the hose end downward so the plastic filter drops out. After cleaning, return the filter, reassemble in reverse and reopen the stopcock. Tighten the connection if water drips.
Hose
Straighten kinks and loops. Because the plastic can weaken and tear over time, keep an eye on the hose; a damaged one has to be replaced through Miele Customer Service.
Supply pressure
Fully open, the stopcock should deliver at least 5 l in 15 s. Less than that is a matter for the facility manager or a plumber, and Miele Customer Service if pressure cannot be raised.
Codes in the same area
F11 covers draining trouble; F139 covers water inside the external dispenser housing.
