How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply before removing panels.

Inspect pressure system:

  • Access the pressure switch and hose as described for F06.
  • Ensure the hose is not full of grease or detergent residue; clean thoroughly.
  • Check that the switch clicks and changes state when gently blown into (use a multimeter to confirm contact change).

Check for overfill:

  • If the tub is visibly overfilled, manually bail out water and check that the drain pump can empty the machine when a cancel/drain is selected.
  • Verify that the drain hose is installed at the correct height to prevent siphoning.

Reassembly and test:

  • Refit the hose and switch securely, restore power and water, and run a short cycle.

If F10 persists and the pressure system is clean, the sensor or control board input may be defective and require replacement.
