Problem Cause and remedy
Food has frozen to-
gether.
The food packaging was not dry when placed in the
freezer.
 Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon handle or
plastic scraper, to prise it apart carefully.
The door to the freezer
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 approx. 1minute and then try again.
It should now open without force.
A buzzer is sounding. The door alarm has been activated.
 Close the appliance door. The buzzer will stop.
An LED indicator light is
flashing at the back of
the refrigeration appli-
ance at the bottom near
the compressor (de-
pending on model).
The electronic unit for
the compressor is
equipped with an oper-
ation and fault dia-
gnosis LED indicator
light.
The indicator light flashes several times every
5seconds.
A fault has occurred.
 Call the Miele Customer Service Department.
The indicator light flashes regularly every
15seconds.
Not a fault. This flashing is normal.

the appliance feel
warm.
This is not a fault. The heat created by the evapor-
ator is used to prevent condensation.
