How to Fix / Troubleshooting

- Listen for the interior fan when the compressor is running.
- If the fan is silent or weak, inspect it behind the rear interior panel.
- 2. Clear vents:
- Ensure that no bottles or boxes are placed directly in front of air outlets or returns.
- 3. Rearrange shelves:
- Follow Miele’s recommended shelf configuration for your model to promote even airflow.

- Remove dust or debris from the fan blades and housing.
- 5. Replace fan if needed:
- If the fan motor is noisy, slow, or seized, replace it with the correct Miele evaporator fan motor.
