Problem solving guide
40
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 Cause and remedy
The appliance is not
cooling
The appliance has not been switched on.
Switch the appliance on.
The mains plug is not inserted in the socket correctly
or the plug connector is not inserted into the socket
at the back of the appliance correctly.
Insert the mains plug into the mains socket and
the plug connector into the appliance socket cor-
rectly and switch on.
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.
The compressor runs
continuously.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less
cooling is required.
The compressor is
switching on more fre-
quently and for longer
periods of time. The
temperature in the ap-
pliance is too low.
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.
The door is not properly closed. A thick layer of ice
may have formed in the freezer.
