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, contact a qualified electrician
or Miele Service.
. . . the temperature in the refrigerator
section is too low.
^
Turn the On/Off and temperature
selector to a warmer setting.
^
Check that the freezer section door
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.
For this reason, do not exceed the
maximum quantity of food that can
be frozen at once - see the data
plate.
. . . 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 ambient
temperature is too warm.
The higher the ambient temperature,
the longer the compressor will run.
Follow the advice given in
"Installation - Location".
^ Check whether the metal grille (heat
exchanger) at the back of the
appliance has become 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.
^
Check to see whether a thick layer of
ice has built up in the freezer section.
If it has, then the freezer section will
need defrosting.
