Problem solving guide
Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and national safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.
The following can be corrected without contacting the Miele Service Department:
What to do if . . .
.. . strange noises can be heard after switching on the appliance, especially after it has just been installed.
^Check to see whether any pieces of furniture next to the appliance are vibrating whilst the appliance is in operation.
Switch the appliance off then:
^Check whether the appliance is aligned correctly.
^Check whether all parts at the rear of the appliance are free from hindrance. Remove any hindrance.
^Check whether the cable clips were unclipped from the back of the appliance before installation. They could vibrate when the appliance is operating.
^Are all removable parts securely located in the appliance?
^Are any bottles or containers unstable or knocking against each other?
Remember that the noise of the compressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
.. . the appliance refrigerator or freezer section does not get cool.
^Check whether the respective section is switched on. The relevant temperature display must be lit up.
^Check that the plug is correctly inserted in the socket.
^Check that the fuse is not defective and that the mains fuse has not blown. If it has, consult the Miele Ser- vice department.
.. . the door to the freezer section 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 in the refrigerator section or freezer section is too low.
^Select a warmer temperature.
^The super freeze or super cool function has not been switched off. The respective indicator light is still on.
