Problem solving guide
Repairs to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a suit- ably qualified and competent person in accordance with local and na- tional safety regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified per- sons could be dangerous. The man- ufacturer cannot be held responsible for unauthorised work.
The following faults can be corrected without contacting the Miele Service Department:
What to do if ...
.. . strange noises can be heard after switching on the appliance, espe- cially after it has just been installed.
^Check to see whether any pieces of furniture next to the appliance are vi- brating whilst the appliance is in op- eration.
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 hin- drance. Remove any hindrance.
^Check whether the cable clips were unclipped from the back of the appli- ance before installation. They could vibrate when the appliance is operat- ing.
^Are all removable parts securely lo- cated in the appliance?
^Are any bottles or containers unsta- ble or knocking against each other?
Remember that the noise of the com- pressor and the coolant circulating in the system is unavoidable.
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^Check whether the respective section is switched on. The relevant tempera- ture display must be lit up.
^Check that the plug is correctly in- serted in the socket.
^Check that the fuse is not defective and that the mains fuse has not blown. If it has, consult the Service department.
.. . the door to the freezer section will not open because it has been opened and closed too many times in suc- cession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused by opening and closing the door is pre- venting 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 func- tion has not been switched off. The respective indicator light is still on.
