Problem solving guide

Repair work to electrical appliances
must only be carried out by a
suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with
current local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cold.
^ Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. If it is switched on,
the access sensor will light up in the
display.
^ Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the socket and switched
on.
^ Check whether the mains fuse has
tripped or whether the fridge freezer,
mains voltage or another appliance is
faulty.
Contact a qualified electrician or
Miele.
^ Check the temperature settings.
. . . the temperature in the freezer is
too low.
^ Increase the temperature.
^ Switch off the SuperFreeze function if
this is switched on.
^ Check that the appliance 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 to
fall automatically.
. . . 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 compressor is switching on
too frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth and in the housing unit at
the top have been covered over or
become too dusty.
^ The door has been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of food
has been put in at once.
^ Check that the appliance door has
been closed properly.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed when less cooling is
required. In this case, the compressor
runs for longer.
