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.
Some minor problems can be corrected
without contacting Miele.
What to do if . . .
. . . the appliance does not get cool.
^
Check whether the appliance has
been switched on. The temperature
display must be lit up.
^
Check that the plug is correctly
inserted into the socket and switched
on.
^
Check that the fuse is not defective
and the mains fuse has not tripped. If
it has there could be a fault with the
household electrical wiring, the fridge
freezer or another electrical
appliance. Contact a qualified
electrician or Miele.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
section or freezer section is too low.
^
Set a warmer temperature.
^
The Super freeze function is still on
and the Super freeze indicator light is
on.
^
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 compressor is switching in
too frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
dusty.
^
Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become too dusty.
^
The doors have been opened too
frequently, or a large amount of fresh
food has been put in at once for
freezing.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
. . . the compressor runs
continuously.
To save energy, the compressor runs at
a lower speed, but for longer, when
less cooling is required.
. . . the frozen food is thawing
because the freezer section is too
warm.
^
Is the room temperature lower than
the ambient temperature for which
the appliance is designed?
If so, raise the temperature of the
room.
