Display shows F13 and the active charcoal filter or air circulation warning icon may appear; air quality inside the cabinet is compromised.

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing internal covers if accessing sensors or fans.

F13 is often related to the air filtration or air quality system in Miele wine coolers.

• 1. Replace the active charcoal filter:
  • Locate the air filter housing inside the cabinet (often near the fan or rear wall).
  • Remove the old filter and install a new genuine Miele active charcoal filter, ensuring correct orientation.
• 2. Check air ducts:
  • Inspect the air intake and exhaust openings for blockage by bottles, packaging, or dust.
  • Rearrange bottles to keep vents clear.
• 3. Reset filter indicator:
  • Follow the user manual procedure to reset the filter change indicator (usually a button combination on the control panel).
• 4. Inspect air quality/humidity sensor (if equipped):
  • Locate the sensor near the air circulation path.
  • Check for contamination or moisture and gently clean with a dry cloth.
• 5. If F13 persists: The sensor or control board input may be faulty. Replacement of the sensor or board should be carried out by a technician.
