# Miele oven showing F55

F55 comes from a safety shut-off in Miele ovens.

## What F55 actually means.

F55 comes from a safety shut-off in Miele ovens. If the oven has been running for an unusually long time for the mode that is set, it switches itself off and shows F55. The time limit depends on the operating mode.

What to do when F55 shows on the oven

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting someone switched on, or a state the oven entered on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a showroom mode that lights the display without heating. No part has broken and nothing has to be replaced.

### Usually leads to No repair

Turn the oven off and then back on; it is ready to use again right away.

### Shows up as Oven Not Heating

The oven turns on and the display counts, but the cavity stays cold or only lukewarm after a long preheat.

### Make Miele

A family-owned German company making wall ovens, steam ovens, combi-steam ovens and speed ovens.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for F55 on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the oven off and then back on; it is ready to use again right away.

02

Start a new cooking program.

### Cleared?

The oven came through without a new part. If the same message returns during a later bake, or the oven stops heating partway through, book it as a fresh problem.

### What not to do

F55 is not a heating problem. It is a timer protecting against an oven left on for too long.

## What you may notice with it.

The oven problems F55 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the oven before anyone is booked.

## Questions about F55.

### Can I clear F55 myself?

Turn the oven off and then back on; it is ready to use again right away.

### Why did my Miele stop during a long, slow cook and show F55?

F55 is Miele's safety shut-off for an oven that has been running an unusually long time in one mode. Turn it off and on and start the program again.

### Does F55 on my Miele need a technician?

Not by itself. Miele says the oven is ready again right after a restart; only an F55 that appears on short, normal cooks would be worth a visit.
