Possible cause and remedy
Water is being pumped in or out.
– This noise does not indicate a malfunction or a
defect. This happens during pumping in and out of
water.
The boiling point of water has changed because the
new installation location differs by at least 984' (300 m)
in altitude from the old.
^ To do this, descale the appliance (see "Cleaning and
care - Descale").
The door is not properly closed.
^ Close the door.
The door gasket is not seated properly.
^ Press the door gasket all the way around the door to
make sure it is fitted evenly.
The door seal is damaged, e.g. cracks.
^ Replace the gasket.
Something is obstructing the panel.
^ Remove the obstruction.
The finger pinch protection is very sensitive, so it may
happen occasionally that the control panel does not
open or close.
^ Open/close the panel manually (see end of
"Frequently Asked Questions").
If the problem occurs very often, contact Miele.
