# Miele cooktop error code FE44

### What Miele publishes for it

On a Miele cooktop, the manufacturer publishes this for the cooktop has overheated. 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:

- The cooktop has overheated.
- You have used unsuitable cookware.
- Stainless steel with a magnetic base
- Enameled steel
- Cast iron
- Cookware made of the following materials is not suitable:
- Stainless steel without a magnetic base
- Aluminum or copper
- Glass, ceramic, earthenware, stoneware
- To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction cooktop, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the dishware is generally suitable.
- The fan is blocked.

### Worth trying yourself, in this order

- Allow the cooktop to cool down.
- Use suitable cookware. Cookware made of the following materials is suitable:
- Check whether the fan is being blocked by objects in a drawer below the cooktop, or by dust or similar substances, and remove the blockage accordingly.

### 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.
