Problem Solving Guide - Miele F 32202 i Operating And Installation Instructions

Many malfunctions and faults that can occur in daily operation can be easily
remedied. Time and money will be saved because a service call will not be
needed.
The following guide may help you to find the reason for a malfunction or a fault,
and to correct 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 appliance does not
get cold and the display
is not lit up.
The compressor runs
continuously.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time. The
temperature in the ap-
pliance is too low.
Cause and remedy
The appliance is not switched on and the mains con-
nection symbol  is lit up in the display.
 Switch the appliance on.
The plug is not inserted in the socket correctly.
 Insert the plug correctly into the socket. The mains
connection symbol  appears in the display
when the appliance is switched off.
Check whether the mains fuse has tripped. There
could be a fault with the appliance, the household
electrical wiring or another electrical appliance.
 Contact a qualified electrician or Miele.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less cool-
ing 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 and/or frozen at the same time.
 Only open the door when necessary and for as
short a time as possible.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a
while.
