Quick answer
FE44 on a Miele induction hob means it overheated, cookware is unsuitable or the fan is blocked.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so FE44 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 thiscode means
Induction hob overheated, unsuitable cookware or blocked fan.
FE44 on the display of an induction hob cooking zone applies to Miele induction hobs. Three causes are named.
1. The hob has overheated
Allow it to cool down.
2. Unsuitable cookware
Suitable: stainless steel with a magnetic base, enamelled steel, cast iron. Not suitable: stainless steel without a magnetic base, aluminium or copper, glass, ceramic or earthenware. Hold a magnet to the base; if it sticks, the cookware is generally suitable.
3. The fan is blocked
Check for objects in a drawer below the hob, or dust and similar, and remove the blockage.
If the fault persists, contact Miele Customer Service or book a repair appointment online.
Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
