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.
Ensure that current is not supplied to the appliance until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
Some minor problems can be corrected without contacting the Miele Service Department.

^The Super cool function is still on and the Super cool indicator light is on. The Super cool function switches itself off automatically after approx. 6 hours.
^Check that the doors have been closed properly.
^Has a large amount of fresh food been frozen at the same time? This makes the compressor run for longer, causing the temperature in the refrigerator section to fall automatically.
. . . 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.
