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 cold.
^ Make sure that the On/Off and
temperature selector is not set at "0".
^ 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
refrigerator or another electrical
appliance. Contact a qualified
electrician or Miele.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
is too low.
^
Turn the On/Off and temperature
selector to a lower setting.
^
Check that the freezer compartment
door (depending on model) has 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 to fall automatically.
No more than 2 kg of fresh food
should be frozen at one time.
^
Is the winter setting (depending on
model) switched on?
. . . the appliance is switching in too
frequently and for too long.
^
Check whether the ventilation gaps
have been covered over or become
dusty.
^ Check whether the compressor and
the metal grille (heat exchanger) at
the back of the appliance have
become dusty.
^ The refrigerator and freezer
compartment doors have been
opened too frequently, or a large
amount of fresh food has been put in
at the same time for freezing.
^ Check that the door has been closed
properly.
^
Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer
compartment. If it has, then the
freezer compartment will need
defrosting.
