Problem Cause and remedy
The appliance doors are not closed properly. A thick
layer of ice may have formed in the freezer.
 Close the appliance doors.
The required temperature will re-establish itself after a
while.
If a thick layer of ice has formed, it will reduce
efficiency and increase the energy consumption.
 Defrost the appliance and clean it.
The ambient room temperature is too high. The higher
the room temperature, the longer the compressor will
run for.
 See “Installation - Location”.
The temperature setting is too low.
 Adjust the temperature.
A large amount of food is being frozen at once.
 See “Freezing and storing food”.
The Super freeze function is still switched on.
 You can switch off the Super freeze function earlier
to save energy.
The compressor comes
on less and less often
and for shorter periods
of time. The
temperature in the
refrigeration appliance
rises.
This is not a fault. The temperature setting is too high.
 Correct the temperature setting.
 Check the temperature again after 24hours.
The frozen goods begin to defrost.
The room temperature is too low for this refrigeration
appliance.
If the room temperature is too low, the compressor
will run less frequently. This may cause the freezer
section to become too warm.
 See “Installation – Location”.
 Increase the temperature of the room.
The compressor runs
continuously.
This is not a fault. To save energy, the compressor
runs at a lower speed, but for longer, when less
cooling is required.
The door seal is
damaged or needs to
be replaced.
No tools are required to change the door seal.
 Change the door seal. A replacement is available
from Miele or from specialist retailers.
