What F33
actually means.
F33 means the lock that held the door during Self Clean has not released. The oven may be cool, yet the door stays shut.

What to do when F33 shows on the stoveKind of codeDoor lock
The latch that holds the oven door shut during self-clean did not move where the stove told it to, or its switch reported the wrong position. It turns up most often during or right after a self-clean cycle, or once the door has been lifted off for cleaning. The latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are checked before the lock motor is changed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for F33 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Power the oven down and back up.
Allow the cavity to cool, since a hot oven keeps the lock engaged.
If the door lock still does not release, book a visit and do not force the door.

What not to do
F33 is not a lock that failed to close. That is F32; F33 is the opposite, a lock that will not let go.
