Miele 30 in. KM443 Electric Cooktop - Page 3 Questions & Answers
My miele electric cooktop will not stay on after I trip the circuit.
Without more info this is difficult to answer. I will say that all cooktop's have thermal overload switches built into them. They open the circuit until it all cools down and they then close the circuit and reset. You begin using it again and bang it opens again and no power. This means you have a short circuit or a bad overload switch. If you are tripping the circuit breaker, you likely have a short circuit, which is why it is tripping the breaker. I would not keep resetting it, if this is the case. The more you blow or open the breaker the weaker it becomes. They open to prevent an electrical fire, which you do not want.
I have. glass top Miele induction. It keeps flashing 'de';... and will not work. Any idea how I can make my hot top work again?
Bummer deal! While that code response is not known by me, sometimes when a heat sensor fails, or a wire loses contact, the computer gives a code. Be care wiggling any live wires as a weak or broken wire will spark brilliantly. That spark may end the problem - or indicate that part is needed. A sensor sends signal to turn off or on the flow of electricity to control heat levels. When they fail, or a wire closes connection the computer does not know what to do, so it says, "Da," check this thing out, giving the code you see. Pursuing the checks stated will show which problem you have. Hope this works - as those sensors on electric rangers and ovens, wires, and sometime a wire break on the top, or plug-in point for elements are big trouble makers.
PS: Some knobs have a sensor in them that can fail. Of course an appliance person will check each point and may have the code interpetation.. A Tech visit cost about $75 for an estimate.
