Switch the oven off and let it cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why would a dirty oven stop my Miele Self Clean with F23? Miele links F23 to large amounts of soiling left in the cavity. Clear out the loose buildup before starting Self Clean again. ### My Miele bakes fine but shows F23 on Self Clean. Should I worry? Self Clean runs far hotter than baking, so an oven can cook well and still fall short of that target. If F23 returns after cleaning out the soil, book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Miele oven showing F23 | OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/error-codes/miele-f23/)** **[Book a visit with OvenRepair.center](https://ovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
