Problem solving guide

Repairs to electrical appliances
should 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 that the fuse is not defective
and the mains fuse has not tripped. If
it has, contact a qualified electrician
or Miele.
^ Check the temperature settings.
. . . the temperature in the freezer is
too low.
^ Increase the temperature.
^ Switch off the Super freeze 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
38
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 it from opening. Wait a
few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.
. . . the compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^ Check whether the ventilation gaps in
the plinth 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, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.
. . . The temperature display for the
freezer shows -18 °C, even though I
have selected a higher temperature?
This is not a fault. If the ice cube maker
is switched on and the room
temperature is less than +18 °C, the
temperature is automatically set to
-18 °C. This is to ensure trouble-free
functioning of the ice cube maker.
