Error code FE48
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

The FE48 message on a Miele induction hob and the owner checks listed in the support text.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so FE48 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

The fan of the hob cooling system is blocked or the hob has insufficient ventilation.

Reading FE48

An induction hob from Miele that shows FE48 on a cooking zone is reporting trouble with its cooling system. Either the fan is obstructed or the airflow around the appliance is not sufficient.

Owner checks, in the order given

  1. Inspect the drawer below the hob. Whatever sits against the fan, along with dust or similar substances, needs to be removed.
  2. Confirm that the installation meets the minimum safety distances in the instructions. The gap from the bottom edge of the hob to the intermediate shelf or oven must be 15 mm or more.
  3. After confirming the gap, unplug the hob from mains power. The message is only cleared once the hob has been disconnected.

Neighbouring codes

Two codes carry nearly identical wording: FE47 and FE49. For a hob that has overheated, see FE44.
