General problems
Issue
Water is flowing out of
the appliance.
The door to the
freezer section will not
open.
The compressor kicks
on very frequently and
for too long.
The freezer runs
continuously.
The temperature
reading in the freezer
shows -18°C, although
a higher temperature
is set.
Frequently asked questions
Possible fault
Close the shut-off valve immediately.
Check whether the water
pipe in the appliance is
defective.
Check whether the water
pressure is too low.
Check whether the correct
water valve has been
installed.
This is not a fault.
The suction caused by
opening and closing the
door too many times in
succession prevents it
from opening.
The ventilation slits are
covered or dusty.
The door has been
opened too frequently, or a
large amount of unfrozen
food has been put in at
once for freezing.
The door is not closed.
To save energy the compressor runs at a lower speed,
but for longer when less cooling is required.
This is not abnormal. When the ice maker is in use and
the temperature of the room is above freezing the
temperature automatically stays at -18°C to ensure
proper functioning.
Solution
Contact Miele Technical
Service.
Contact a plumber.
Self-tapping valves and
3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle
valves reduce the water
pressure and can block
the pipe.
Wait a few minutes, then
try again. It should now
open without force.
Clean with a vacuum or
brush.
Once the freezer gets
down to the set
temperature the
compressor will turn off.
Check that the door has
been closed properly.
