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.
What to do if...
. . . the PerfectFresh zone or freezer
section does not get cool.
^ Check whether the relevant section is
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 door to the freezer section
will not open because it has been
opened and closed too many times in
succession.
This is not a fault. The suction caused
by opening and closing the door is
preventing the door from opening. Wait
a few minutes and then try again. It
should now open without force.
. . . the temperature in the
PerfectFresh zone or freezer section
is too low.
^
Select a warmer temperature.
^
Check that the doors have been
closed properly.
^
Has a large amount of fresh food
been put placed in the appliance at
the same time?
This makes the compressor run for
longer, causing the temperature in
the appliance to fall automatically.
^
Super cool has not yet switched itself
off.
^ Super freeze has not yet switched
itself off.
. . . 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.
