How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before working in the dispenser area.
- Clear ice buildup: Remove the ice bin and clear any ice lodged around the crusher blades and selector gate.
- Inspect selector: Check the cube/crush selector lever or mechanism for free movement. Lubricate only with food-safe silicone if specified by Miele.
- Check solenoid: Locate the crusher solenoid and verify that its plunger moves freely when manually actuated. Replace if stuck or burnt.
- Test switch: Use a multimeter to test the selector switch for proper continuity in each position. Replace if faulty.
