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 respective section
is switched on. The relevant
temperature display must be lit up.
^ 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 refrigerator
or freezer is too cold.
^ Select a warmer temperature.
^ The SuperFreeze function is still on
and the indicator light is illuminated.
The SuperFreeze function
automatically switches off after
approx. 30-60 hours.
^ The SuperCool function is still on and
the indicator light is illuminated. The
40
SuperCool function automatically
switches off after approx. 6 hours.
^ Check that the appliance doors are
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 then open without
force.
. . . the compressor is switching on
too frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth at the bottom and in the
housing unit at the top have been
covered over or become too dusty.
^ The doors have been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^ Check that the doors close 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.
