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 fan is being blocked by objects in a drawer below the cooktop, or by dust or similar substances. - There is insufficient ventilation for the appliance cooling system. - Once this clearance has been established, you must disconnect the cooktop from the power supply in order to clear the message. ### Worth trying yourself, in this order - 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. - Check that the minimum clearances for installing the cooktop have been adhered to. The minimum clearances are described in the operating and installation instructions. There must be a clearance of at least 1/2" (15 mm) between the bottom edge of the cooktop and the interim shelf or oven. ### 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.
