How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No disassembly required for basic troubleshooting.

Steps:

  • 1. Power cycle: Turn the robot OFF for 2–3 minutes, then power it back on.
  • 2. Retry firmware update: If F19 appeared during an update, ensure the robot is on the dock with stable Wi‑Fi and retry the update via the Miele app.
  • 3. Factory reset (if available): Use the robot’s menu or app to perform a factory reset, then reconfigure settings. Note that this may erase maps and schedules.

When to call a technician: Persistent F19 after reset and update attempts indicates an internal communication or PCB fault. Professional diagnosis and possible main board replacement are required.
