How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the unit is properly grounded and connected to a stable power source.
F20 often appears after a power interruption or control reset.
- 1. Acknowledge alarm:
- Press the alarm or OK button on the control panel to silence the alarm.
- 2. Check temperature:
- Verify that the internal temperature is returning to the setpoint.
- Keep the door closed as much as possible to speed recovery.
- 3. Power cycle:
- If F20 does not clear, unplug the unit for 5–10 minutes and then restore power.
- 4. Monitor operation:
- If the error recurs frequently without actual power outages, the control’s memory or backup supply may be failing.
- 5. Professional repair: Persistent F20 may require main control board replacement by a Miele technician.
