That sentence is Miele’s own, read off its published support page for this condition rather than worked out from the outside. Everything below it — what the condition covers and what is worth doing first — is ours, written from what this equipment does in Miami kitchens. ### What this block of conditions is about The only place Miele writes something other than F and a number: the induction tops write FE and a number, and a bare F with nothing after it is itself a condition — it means the sensor controls have stopped answering. ### What it covers What a published cause names is a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before anybody orders a part. This one covers: - Overheating protection has been triggered. - All the induction coils and heat sinks for the electronics are fitted with an overheating protection mechanism. Before the induction coils or heat sinks get too hot, the overheating protection mechanism intervenes in one of the following ways: - Any Booster function in operation will be switched off. - The set power level will be reduced. - One or more cooking zones will switch off automatically. - The overheating protection may be activated under the following circumstances: - The cookware being heated is empty. - Fat or oil is being heated on a high power level. - Insufficient ventilation to the underside of the cooktop. - A hot cooking zone is turned back on after a power outage. - Remedy the cause which triggers the overheating protection mechanism. - If, despite removing the cause, the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact a technician. ### Worth knowing before you call Miele publishes no owner step against this one, and neither do we. It is a condition for a technician rather than for the person standing in front of it, which is the honest reading of a code with nothing an owner can act on. Have the model and serial number ready and it becomes a short conversation rather than a long one. ### Then what Induction tops report more than any other cooking surface Miele builds, and most of what they report is about heat and about the glass rather than about a part. Clear the surface, let it cool properly and try again before assuming anything: an overheating condition on a top that is fitted into a small South Florida island cabinet is often about the ventilation under it, which is a fixable installation problem and not a failed cooktop. Miele publishes this one for the cooktops — that is cooktops and rangetops on this site. The [full Miele archive](https://mielemiami.support/error-codes/) has the other conditions, searchable, and on this make the same number appears on more than one machine roughly a third of the time, so the appliance above is part of the answer. We repair this equipment across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.
