Power the oven down and back up. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### My Miele door is locked with F33 and dinner is inside. What can I do? Turn the oven off and on again and give it time to cool. Pulling on the door can damage the lock. ### How long should the Miele door stay locked after Self Clean? Until the oven has cooled enough for the lock to release. If it is cool and still locked with F33, book a visit. ### Is F33 on my Miele covered by a quick reset? Sometimes a power cycle releases it. If not, the lock needs service. --- **[Read on the site: Miele stove shows F33 and the door stays locked](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/miele-f33/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
