Miele Thermostat / Temperature Sensor Misreading

Refrigerator runs constantly and is too cold; food freezing in fresh food compartment.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty refrigerator compartment NTC sensor, Sensor not properly clipped to wall or evaporator, Control board not responding to sensor input

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors or control boards.

Steps:

Verify temperature: Use a thermometer to confirm actual compartment temperature versus setpoint.
Check sensor placement: Ensure the sensor is properly mounted in its holder and not hanging loose or touching cold surfaces directly.
Replace sensor: If readings are clearly wrong, replace the NTC sensor with a Miele‑specified part.

If the unit still overcools after sensor replacement, the control board may need professional evaluation.
