## What Err 039 actually means.

Err alternating with 039, 040, 408 or 412 in the timer display is Miele's report of an electronic problem in the cooktop.

What to do when Err 039 shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Boards and communication

The touch board and the power board under the glass lost track of each other, or one failed its own start-up check. A power dip, a ribbon or harness pulled loose when the top was fitted, or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a cooktop that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker.

### Usually leads to Touch control repair

Glass touch keys and sliders that ignore a finger, start zones by themselves or stay locked, traced to the keys, the control board or the lock setting.

### Shows up as Cooktop Controls Unresponsive

Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element.

## Questions about Err 039.

### Can I clear Err 039 myself?

Write down the exact number that alternates with Err before cutting the power. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How long should I cut power to my Miele for Err 039?

Miele says about one minute.

### Does the number after Err matter?

Miele gives the four numbers the same first step, but the exact number helps the technician.

### What does Err 408 or Err 412 mean on a Miele cooktop?

Miele puts 408 and 412 in the same entry as 039 and 040. All four report an electronic problem in the cooktop. The first step for each is to disconnect the power for about a minute.
