How to fix a Miele KFN 12823 SD Refrigerator that does not cool?
If your Miele Refrigerator is not cooling, make sure that the appliance is switched on (the temperature display must be illuminated) and that the plug is correctly inserted into the electrical outlet. Check also the main circuit breaker or for any faults in the building's electrical wiring.
How to stop rattling and clanking noises in my Miele KFN 12823 SD?
Rattling or clanking sounds in your Miele Refrigerator can occur if the appliance is not level (realign it using a level), is touching another appliance or furniture (move it away), or if drawers, baskets, or shelves are unstable or stuck (check and refit them correctly). Also, check if bottles or containers are touching (separate them) or if the transport cable clips are hanging loose (remove them).
What to do if the Miele Refrigerator floor is wet?
If the floor under your Miele Refrigerator is wet, it is likely that the condensate drain hole is blocked. You should clean the condensate channel and drain hole.
Why is food thawing in my Miele KFN 12823 SD Refrigerator freezer?
If food is thawing in your Miele Refrigerator freezer because it is too warm, it might be because the room temperature is lower than the ambient temperature for which the appliance is designed. If so, increase the room temperature. If the room temperature is too low, the compressor will switch on less frequently, which may cause the freezer to become too warm.
Why is the temperature too low in my Miele KFN 12823 SD freezer?
If the temperature in the freezer of your Miele Refrigerator is too low, change the temperature setting to a warmer value. Also, the SuperFreeze function might be active, and the indicator light is on (it will automatically switch off after approximately 65 hours). Check that the appliance doors are properly closed. If you froze a large amount of food at the same time, this makes the compressor run longer, causing an automatic drop in temperature in the refrigerator.
How to separate food that has frozen together in Miele KFN 12823 SD Refrigerator?
To separate food that has frozen together in your Miele Refrigerator, use a blunt object, for example, the handle of a spoon, to pry it apart carefully.
Why is the alarm sounding and the temperature display flashing on my Miele KFN 12823 SD Refrigerator?
If the alarm sounds and the temperature display for the freezer is flashing, it could be due to the freezer door being opened too frequently, a large amount of fresh food being put in for freezing, or blocked ventilation slots. Once these issues are resolved, the temperature display will remain constantly lit, and the alarm will stop.
Why is the interior light not working in my Miele KFN 12823 SD Refrigerator?
If the interior lighting of your Miele Refrigerator no longer works properly, it may be defective, especially if the door was not left open for too long.
Why won't the Miele KFN 12823 SD Refrigerator freezer door open?
If the door to the freezer of your Miele Refrigerator will not open multiple times in a row, this is not a fault. Warm air entering the freezer creates a suction effect that can prevent the door from opening. Wait a few minutes and then try again. It should now open without force.
