Problem
Cause and remedy
After a while, the temperature will return to normal by
itself.
If a thick layer of ice has already formed, this will af-
fect cooling and increase energy consumption.
Defrost the freezer compartment and clean it.
The ambient room temperature is too high. The higher
the ambient temperature, the longer the compressor
has to run.
See “Installation – Location”.
The temperature setting in the refrigeration appliance
is too low.
Correct the temperature setting.
A large amount of food is being frozen at once.
See “Freezing and storing food”.
The winter setting is is still activated.
Switch the winter setting off.
The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. The temperat-
ure in the refrigeration
appliance rises.
Not a fault. The temperature is too high.
Check what setting the temperature selector is at.
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.
Increase the temperature of the room.
Switch the winter setting on. See “Winter setting”.
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.
