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 Service
Department.
. . . 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 temperature in the refrigerator
section is too low.
^ Turn the temperature selector to a
setting closer to "0".
^ Check that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly.
^ Has a large amount of fresh food
been put in at the same time for
freezing?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the refrigerator section to fall
automatically. No more than 2 kg of
26
fresh food should be frozen at one
time.
^ Has the winter setting been switched
on?
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
too dusty.
^ Check whether, the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become too dusty.
^ The refrigerator and freezer
compartment doors have been
opened too frequently, or a large
amount of fresh food has been put in
at the same time for freezing.
^ Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^ Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer
compartment. If it has, then the
appliance will need defrosting.
. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer compartment is
too warm.
^ Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
Increase the room temperature or
switch on the winter setting.
Operating in a room which is too cold
will cause the cooling system to switch
off for too long causing the freezer
compartment to become too warm.
