Troubleshooting and error codes

What to do if... ...
...the appliance does not get cold.
  • Check whether the appliance has been switched on. The mains indicator light must be lit up.
  • 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 Service Department.
...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 temperature is too low.
  • Turn the temperature selector to a setting closer to "1".
  • The Super freeze function has not been switched off. The indicator light is still on.
...the appliance is switching in 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 fresh food has been put in at once for freezing.
  • Check that the door has been closed properly.
  • Check whether a thick layer of ice has built up. If it has, then the appliance will need defrosting.
...the temperature indicator light is on? The temperature in the freezer has become too warm because
  • the door has been opened too frequently, or large amounts of fresh food have been put in at once for freezing.
  • there has been a lengthy interruption to the power supply.
  • the ventilation gaps are blocked.
The temperature indicator light will go out when the temperature in the freezer is cold enough.
...the mains indicator light is not on.
  • Check if the Super freeze indicator light comes on when you press the Super freeze button. If it does, then the mains indicator light is defective. Call the Miele Service Department.
  • If the Super freeze indicator light does not come on either, then check whether
    • the plug is correctly inserted in the socket.
    • the mains fuse has blown. If it has there is a fault. Call the Miele Service Department.
... the Super freeze indicator light does not light up, even though the appliance is working. The indicator light is defective. Call the Miele Service Department.
... food has frozen together. Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.
... there is a thick layer of ice in the freezer.
  • Check whether the door closes properly.
  • Defrost and then clean the freezer. Too thick a layer of ice reduces efficiency and increases energy consumption.
