Troubleshooting
Repairs to electrical appliances must be carried out by qualified professionals. Work performed by unqualified persons can place the user at considerable risk of harm.
However, you can correct the following minor problems yourself:
What should I do if . . .
. . . the refrigerator or freezer section does not cool?
Check that the respective section is switched on. The corresponding temperature display should be lit up.
Check that the plug is completely inserted in the socket.
Check whether the circuit breaker of the house wiring system is switched off. If so, contact Miele Customer Ser- vice.
. . . the door to the freezer section cannot be opened and closed several times in succession?
This is no cause for concern. Repeated opening and closing of the door can cause strong suction. The door can be opened without difficulty if you wait a few minutes.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer section is too cold?
Set a warmer temperature.
Check that the doors are properly closed.
Did you freeze a large quantity of food all at once?
This causes the appliance to run for a long time, and the temperature drops automatically.
The Super Cool function has not yet switched off.
The Super Freeze function has not yet switched off.
. . . the compressor is switching on too frequently and for too long?
Check whether the ventilation slits are blocked or dusty.
Check whether the metal coil (heat exchanger) at the rear of the appliance is dusty.
The doors have been opened frequently, or a large amount of fresh food has been put in all at once for freezing.
Check that the doors are closing properly.
. . . the compressor runs non-stop?
To save energy, the compressor switches to a lower rpm when less cooling is required. This increases the appliance's running time.
