Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Remove the battery and do not continue to operate the vacuum if you smell burning or feel excessive heat.
- 1. Basic reset: Remove the battery for 10 minutes, then reinsert and test. Sometimes a sensor error can clear after a full power-down.
- 2. Check for overheating: After a brief run, feel the motor housing. If it becomes very hot quickly, stop using the vacuum and contact service.
- 3. Test at low power: Run the vacuum on the lowest power setting. If F13 still appears quickly, the sensor or motor is likely faulty.
- 4. Professional service: Current sensors and motor windings are not user-serviceable. Arrange for Miele service to inspect and replace the motor unit or main PCB as needed.
