Problem

Cause and remedy

The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. The temperat-
ure in the refrigeration
appliance rises.

This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too high.

Correct the temperature setting.

Check the temperature again after 24 hours.

The frozen food begins to defrost. 
The room temperature is too low for this refrigeration
appliance. 
If the room temperature is too low, the compressor
will run less frequently. This may cause the freezer
zone to become too warm.

See the information in “Installation” – “Location”.

Increase the temperature of the room.

An LED indicator light is
flashing at the back of
the appliance at the
bottom near the com-
pressor (depending on
model). 
The electronic unit for
the compressor is
equipped with an oper-
ation and fault dia-
gnosis LED indicator
light.

The indicator light flashes several times every
5 seconds. 
A fault has occurred.

Call Miele.

The indicator light flashes regularly every
15 seconds. 
Not a fault. This flashing is normal.
