Miele KF1901vi Bottom Freezer Built In Refrigerator Questions & Answers
Can I fix a noise a fan, I think coming from the top inside corner of my built-in Miele refrigerator?
It's possible to troubleshoot and potentially fix the noise issue in your Miele refrigerator yourself, but it's important to exercise caution and follow proper safety procedures. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Unplug the Refrigerator: Before attempting any repairs, unplug the refrigerator from the power source to ensure your safety.
- Remove the Top Inside Corner Panel: If you suspect the noise is coming from the top inside corner, you can try removing the panel to access the fan or components in that area. Check your refrigerator's user manual or Miele's website for specific instructions on removing panels or accessing internal components. If the panel has screws or fasteners, carefully remove them to detach the panel without damaging it.
- Inspect for Obstructions: Once you have access to the inside corner area, visually inspect for any obstructions or loose components that could be causing the noise. Look for any debris, loose wires, or parts that may be hitting the fan or other moving parts. If you find any obstructions, carefully remove them.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: If the noise persists, you can try lubricating the fan or other moving parts in the area. Use a food-grade lubricant or a specifically recommended lubricant for refrigeration equipment. Apply the lubricant according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Check Fan Blade Alignment: Ensure that the fan blades are properly aligned and not hitting any surrounding components. If the blades appear bent or damaged, they may need to be replaced. Contact Miele customer support or a qualified technician for further guidance on replacing fan blades.
- Reassemble and Test: After addressing any issues, reassemble the panel and secure it back into place. Plug the refrigerator back in and test it to see if the noise has been resolved. Monitor the refrigerator over a period of time to ensure the noise does not return.
If, after attempting these steps, the noise persists or you encounter difficulties during the process, it is recommended to contact Miele customer support or schedule a service visit by a professional technician. They have the expertise and specialized tools to diagnose and repair complex issues.
Note: Working on appliances can carry risks, and it's important to be cautious and take necessary safety precautions. If you're unsure or uncomfortable performing any steps, it's best to consult a professional technician to avoid potential hazards or further damage to the appliance.

Miele plate warmer esw5088-14 warming drawer will not close
Don't know if you still need this, but the 'tamper' aka shock absorber aka gas strut for the warming drawer EGW3060 has the Miele part no. 8127920. It's likely the designs of most of their drawers are the same, but it would be worth checking with the Miele spares department who I've always found very helpful in discussing and supplying spares, contrary to their reputation (although they won't supply technical documentation of course). If you want to try getting hold of the original manufacturer's part, it's a Stabilus Lift-o-Mat 5601YG 0085N.
Our EGW3060 has got through three of these gas struts in its 11-year life - it's clearly a weak point of the design. I have a feeling that Miele changed the spec of the gas strut to 85N force (originally 50N) at some stage, to provide a sharper 'snap' to the closure. Fitting is incredibly easy, but if you've found the mechanism you know that already. Hope this helps.

Miele KFN8452SD Fridge is not getting cold
There seems to be a fundamental design problem the freezers.
Ice builds in the condenser and the defrost time allowed is not enough to defrost the ice
The defrost time is limited to about 8 minutes, at least 32 minutes would be required
as the condenser can contain up 1 litre of ice. The defrost element draws about 200W
If the freezer door is not closed properly the fan turns on after 15 minutes and very quickly ices up the evaporator. The freezer cannot recover from this. You will need to turn the freezer off for about 3 days to allow the ace to melt
Would have be sensible not to activate the fan when the door is open or to increase the defrost times accordingly
