Error code Err 044
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

Err 044 on a Miele hob means overheating protection was activated; let it cool and fix the cause.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so Err 044 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

Overheating protection activated.

Err flashing alternately with 044 in the timer display tells you the hob’s overheating protection mechanism has been activated.

Steps

  1. Allow the hob to cool down.
  2. Rectify the cause of the overheating.
  3. Check that the hob works.

Usual causes

Empty cookware, fat or oil on a high power level, too little ventilation under the hob, or a hot cooking zone switched on again after the power supply was interrupted.

If the fault persists, Miele recommends Customer Service or an online repair appointment.
