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 ovenKind of codeMode, not a failure

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.
