Possible Causes

Intermittent door contact switch, Loose temperature sensor connection, Control board logic fault, Recent large temperature change from loading warm bottles

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before testing switches or sensors.

  • 1. Acknowledge alarm:
    • Press the alarm or OK button to silence it and see if it returns.
  • 2. Check door switch:
    • Ensure the door contact switch operates reliably and is not loose.
  • 3. Stabilize load:
    • If many warm bottles were recently added, allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.
  • 4. Inspect sensor connections:
    • Reseat connectors for cabinet and zone sensors on the control board.
  • 5. If alarms persist without real temperature issues: The control board may be overly sensitive or faulty; consult a Miele technician for diagnosis and possible board replacement.
