I have been very satisfied with my Miele induction cooktop ever since I had it installed. I used to have a Miele gas cooktop, but when renovating my house, decided to go off gas for the environmental and financial savings, and I couldn't be happier. Sekirei manga. The induction cooktop is even faster to boil water than gas, using the 'boost' option, and once you learn what power level works for simmering your different sized pots, you have perfect and absolute control, and nothing ever boils over.
I have just turned on a new Miele KM 6350 Induction Hob for the. Error FE 31 is in the Miele handbook of Circuit. I have a Bosch Induction Cooktop. Hi Miele, I bought an induction cooktop 3 years ago which cost me 1000E and last week goes defect with code fe31. Local Miele service visited me and was. Miele KM5753 Induction Cooktop - Error 30 Hello. Mine is FE 31 and a 1 minute re-set of the circuit breaker does not cure the problem. Miele Induction Cooktop.
• 12061 Answers SOURCE: Hi, well whenever this happens, it is usually unrecoverable, IF one immediately attended to the matter, and, stopped, Dried out,and sealed up the ingress points, one may be able to stop the problem from happening, However once water, moisture, liquid, gains entry into the internal core of the Cook-Top, it migrates everywhere throughout by capillary action, this then provides a high resistance path between Earth/Neutral and Phase, this then 'Blows' the Fuses. IF one could find a way to completely dry the Cook-Top out, by say heating for a time in an 'Oven' or the like and one could drive out the moisture, then one maybe able to recover the cook-top. Otherwise it will continue to blow the fuses as there is always going to be a current path through the moisture to earth. Posted on Nov 25, 2010. I have the same FE 30 problem on my KM5733 Induction cooktop whenever it's circuit breaker/isolation switch (in my house's fuse box) has been turned off and then on again. I have turned in back on after waiting a day or longer (figuring it needed to reset itself?) and the results have been hit and miss and I have had no idea why it would work sometimes and not others. Needless to say, I've trolled the net looking for answers and Miele online support is useless (unless you're ok with shelling out loads of cash to have a technician come by) and I still haven't heard back from them after lodging an enquiry.
Needless to say, I've trolled the net looking for answers and Miele online support is useless (unless you're ok with shelling out loads of cash to have a technician come by) and I still haven't heard back from them after lodging an enquiry. What I have discovered from this and other forums is that these units do not like being attached to a power source which has a voltage significantly above the amount stipulated in its specifications (for my unit it's 230 Volts). After reading this I used a voltage meter to measure the voltage in one of the power outlets in my house (I have a really cheap meter I'd bought a while ago at an electronics retailer).
The link issue may or may not apply to yours but you would need to check. Finally of course it could be internal and would need Miele to investigate and repair. I suspect before you get that far though you will need some evidence the power supply up to their hob isn’t faulty. If out of warranty (after checking your side of the power supply) it may be cheaper to get a new hob knowing Miele!!!
Still no FE 30 error! I double checked the unit by turning it back on and boiling water again and it did it with no problems. I then turned the unit off and measured the voltage in the power outlet again and sure enough it was back at 260 Volts. I'm now going to ring the power company and make a complaint.
I then thought the voltage to the induction cooktop (as well as to all the other power outlets/circuits in the house) is likely to drop if I plug in and turned on a lot of high resistance electrical appliances. Sure enough, when I turned on the kettle, toaster, clothes dryer, computers, televisions, electric oil heaters, lights and dishwasher, the voltage in the power outlet I'd been measuring went down from 260 to 235 volts. I then turned on the power to the induction top back on and it turned on and with no FE 30 error! I boiled some water to make sure everything was working ok (it was) and then I turned off the induction top and all of the other devices I'd switched on.
The thing is, I know the unit works just fine provided it has been turned on and it doesn't get the initial FE 30 error (it's almost like you have to get past an initial voltage check and then once it's going everything is ok). If the voltage is at an 'acceptable' (whatever that may be) level when it's turned on, it will turn on and then stay on even if the voltage goes up afterwards (which it obviously has done during the time from when it was last switched on until recently). How did I get it to work this time? Well I thought of ways to reduce the voltage to the unit and came across all sorts of stuff on the net including powerbox voltage reducers, optimisers, blah, blah. I thought this is total rubbish and I'm going to ring the power company and complain about the voltage being so high when it's not supposed to be. I then thought back to my old high school physics days and remembered that there's a relationship between voltage, current and resistance.
These cooktops have a terrible defect. The 'filter' mainboard has most likely exceeded its current limits and the built-in pcb fuse has fried. This 'fuse' is a cost cutting measure that electolux used to save money that will cost you lots of money with repeat repairs. It will cost you about $450 plus labor to get repaired. Madlib shades of blue vinyl. To add insult to injury, most repair techs will not be familiar with induction range repair. I've now repaired mine twice for defects in this board. If you have a 2007-2011 Kenmore or Electrolux, or a current model Electrolux ICON, it ultimately WILL develop this problem.
I've been working with the dealer and the company and they say its a 'software' problem, but they've haven't taken them off the market. I use All-Clad stainless steel pans so that's not the issue. Thanks for your comments.
Posted on Oct 14, 2008. I have the same FE 30 problem on my KM5733 Induction cooktop whenever it's circuit breaker/isolation switch (in my house's fuse box) has been turned off and then on again. I have turned in back on after waiting a day or longer (figuring it needed to reset itself?) and the results have been hit and miss and I have had no idea why it would work sometimes and not others.
I protested to no avail and waited three weeks for the part to come from Australia. Shortly after, it played up the same way again with a couple more zones involved. Another repairman came and after much discussion with final approval from the top, the cook top was replaced after another long wait. The new cook top worked much like the previous one, only without the control fault. It is good for heating water, slow cooking but miserable in stir fry or pan fry. Even on 9 the heat is not enough to heat two tablespoons of oil sufficiently after a couple of minutes (in non-stick pan). When finally heated and vegetables put in, there will be a sizzle and everything simmers after that.
Sure enough it was above 260 Volts which is totally beyond the range it's supposed to be for where I'm living. The thing is, I know the unit works just fine provided it has been turned on and it doesn't get the initial FE 30 error (it's almost like you have to get past an initial voltage check and then once it's going everything is ok). If the voltage is at an 'acceptable' (whatever that may be) level when it's turned on, it will turn on and then stay on even if the voltage goes up afterwards (which it obviously has done during the time from when it was last switched on until recently).
What does 'function x' do for me? Why do I need it? And the other night we somehow managed to 'lock' the cooktop by accidentally pressing two buttons simultaneously. I had to download the manual and search through it page after page (after hundreds of 'safety' instructions like 'don't submerge this cooktop under water' - which are only there to protect Miele from lawsuits) to find the section that told me how to unlock it. Apparently others are having the same problem with this cooktop. If you accidentally press buttons in some cryptic sequence, the cooktop apparently thinks you want to set a 'timer' or something and it's impossible to figure out how to get out of that mode so you can cook something. I've gotten into the habit of walking to the fuse box and flipping the switch to power-off and power-on the cooktop.
After having a Miele Induction cooktop in our last house and being totally happy with it we decided on another for our new kitchen renovation in this house. This time we decided to get the 3 burner instead of the 4 burner as being just two of us it would be enough. We bought model KM 6113.
Mar 22, 2013 . Hi Sue -- when you switched the breaker, how long did you leave it off before switching it back on? Generally, it's a good idea to leave the breaker off (or unplug the unit) for a full 30 seconds before switching the unit back on. If you did have it off for 30 seconds and the error code came on after that point, then it may possibly be a relay isse. That will more than likely require a visit from an authorized servicer to properly diagnose the cooktop. Hopefully the 30-second test prevails and the issue is resolved.
After cooking on a small gas stove for a month it was finally installed, worked ok for a week, yesterday got errors couldn't turn it off turned power off as per book instructions worked ok until this afternoon same thing happened. Rang miele 2 WEEK WAIT for another service (yay) they told my husband the errors are an installation problem, if that's true why are they listed in cooktop instruction book? I installed this cooktop into a new kitchen 3 years ago. The first one had an electrical fault and kept tripping all the switches as soon as it was installed by the electrician. Miele replaced it the next day, no questions asked, so I was very pleased with their customer service. The second one has worked fine ever since.
