Problem solving guide
Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
remedied. You can save time and money in many cases, as you do not need to call
the Miele Customer Service Department.
Information to help you rectify faults yourself can be found at www.miele.com/ser-
vice.
The following tables are designed to help you to find the cause of a malfunction or
a fault and to resolve it.
To prevent unnecessary loss of temperature it is advisable not to open the door
while waiting for the appliance to be serviced.
Problem
The refrigeration appli-
ance is not cooling.
The compressor runs
continuously.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time. The

geration appliance is
too low.

Cause and remedy
The refrigeration appliance is not switched on and
the symbol is lit up in the display.
Switch the refrigeration appliance on.
The plug is not inserted in the socket correctly.
Insert the plug into the socket. If the refrigeration
appliance is switched off, will appear in the dis-
play.
The mains fuse has tripped. There could be a fault
with the refrigeration appliance, the household elec-
trical wiring or another electrical appliance.
Contact a qualified electrician or the Miele Cus-
tomer Service Department.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less
cooling is required.
The ventilation gaps have been covered or become
too dusty.
Do not block the ventilation gaps.
Dust the ventilation gaps regularly.
The appliance door has been opened too frequently,
or a large amount of fresh food has been placed in-
side or frozen at the same time.
Only open the appliance door when necessary and
for as short a time as possible.
