Problem solving guide

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 that the mains fuse has not
tripped. If it has, contact the Miele
Service Department.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^ Set a warmer temperature.
^ The Super cool function is still
switched on. Super cool only
switches itself off after 6 hours.
24
. . . 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 appliance door is being opened
frequently.
^ Check that the door has been closed
properly.
. . . the interior lighting is not
working.
The lighting switches itself off
automatically after approx. 15 minutes if
the door is left open.
If it also does not come on when the
door is opened briefly, but the
temperature display is working, then
the lighting is defective.
^ Disconnect the appliance from the
mains. Switch off at the wall and
withdraw the plug from the socket, or
disconnect the mains fuse or remove
the screw-out fuse in countries where
this is applicable.
