Problem solving guide

Repairs to electrical appliances
should only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in accordance with local and
national safety regulations. Repairs
and other work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable
for unauthorised work.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting the Miele Service
Department.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^ Make sure that the temperature
selector is not pointing to the "0"
position.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted in the socket and switched
on.
^ Check that the fuse is not defective
and that the mains fuse has not
blown. If it has, contact the Miele Ser-
vice Department.
. . . the door will not open because it
has been opened and closed too
many times in succession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is
preventing the door from opening. Wait
a few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.

. . . the temperature is too low.
^ Turn the temperature selector to a
setting closer to "0".
^ Super freeze has not yet switched
itself off. The Super freeze function
switches itself off automatically after
approx. 65 hours.
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
dusty.
^ Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the rear of the
appliance has become dusty.
^ Check whether the door has been
opened too frequently, or a large
amount of fresh food has been put in
at once for freezing.
^ Check that the door has been closed
properly.
^ Check whether a thick layer of ice
has built up. If it has, then the
appliance will need defrosting.
. . . the alarm sounds and the alarm
indicator light flashes. The
temperature in the freezer section is
too warm, because
^ a large amount of food has been
frozen at once without switching on
the Super freeze function.
The alarm will stop and the indicator
light will go out when the temperature
has reached the correct level again.
