Possible Causes
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.
