F10
The steam oven cannot draw water from the water container to generate steam. The water supply to the steam generator is insufficient or has been interrupted. This code applies to Miele steam ovens (DG/DGC series).
medium severity
F11
The steam generator cannot empty its residual water after the cooking cycle. The drain path is blocked or the drain pump is unable to operate. This fault is common on steam ovens used with hard water that has not been descaled regularly. This code applies to Miele steam ovens (DG/DGC series).
medium severity
F20
The steam oven has failed to reach the required temperature during a steam or combination steam cooking cycle. The heating system is not operating correctly. This code applies to Miele steam ovens (DG/DGC series).
high severity
F31
The cooktop has detected an internal technical fault in its electronic control system. The cooktop will not operate until the fault is resolved. This code applies to Miele induction and electric cooktops.
high severity
F94
The float switches in the water container are stuck in a position that gives the control system an incorrect water level reading. This typically occurs on Miele combination steam ovens (DGC series) when mineral deposits or debris prevent the floats from moving freely. This code applies to Miele steam ovens (DG/DGC series).
medium severity
FE44
The cooktop's thermal protection circuit has triggered because the surface temperature exceeded safe limits. This is commonly caused by using non-induction-compatible cookware on an induction zone, or by operating a zone without a pot (ghost load). The cooktop will resume normal operation after it cools down. This code applies to Miele induction and electric cooktops.
low severity
FE47
The cooling fan that protects the cooktop's electronics has been blocked and cannot spin at the required speed. Without adequate cooling, the control electronics will overheat. The cooktop shuts down as a safety measure until airflow is restored. This code applies to Miele induction and electric cooktops.
medium severity
