Error code C
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

A C on a Miele hob display means the hob switched off automatically because sensor controls were covered for around 10 seconds.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so C may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Hob switched off automatically: sensor controls covered for more than about 10 seconds.

If C shows on a Miele hob, the hob has switched itself off. After you switch the appliance back on, C appears above the On/Off sensor control.

What triggered it

One or more sensor controls were covered for more than around 10 seconds, for example by a finger, food boiling over or an object left on them.

What to do

Clean off any soiling and remove the object. The operating instructions describe this under “Safety features – Safety switch-off”.

Related hob codes

  • F: sensor controls covered, with variants for limescale and unresponsive controls.
  • dE: demo mode rather than a switch-off.
