How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing any panels.

  • Power cycle: Unplug the microwave or switch off the breaker for at least 10 minutes to allow the control to fully reset.
  • Check installation settings: For built-in combination units, verify that any configuration jumpers or settings (e.g., 50 Hz/60 Hz, voltage) match your region and installation, as per the Miele installation manual.
  • Surge protection: If F10 appeared after a storm or outage, consider using a surge protector to prevent future damage.
  • Factory reset: If the user manual describes a factory reset procedure via the keypad, perform it and test again.
  • Replace control module: If F10 persists, the main control module’s memory is likely damaged and the board should be replaced by a Miele technician.
