How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect and test.
- Check for moisture: If the unit is installed above a steam-producing appliance, ensure adequate ventilation and that steam is not entering the control area.
- Inspect harness (advanced): Remove the control panel and top cover to access the wiring harness between the user interface PCB and the main power/control board. Check for loose plugs, damaged insulation, or pin corrosion.
- Reseat connectors: Carefully unplug and replug the harness connectors to ensure a solid connection.
- Board replacement: If F11 persists, either the UI board or main control board may be defective. A technician can determine which board to replace using Miele diagnostic procedures.
