What to do when Err 044 shows on the cooktopKind of codeTemperature and overheat sensors
A sensor under the glass or on a board reported a reading the control rejected, or heat climbing past the safe limit — often after an empty pan was left on a zone. The zone is allowed to cool and a loose sensor plug is ruled out before the sensor, the coil assembly or the board is blamed. A top that keeps getting hotter is switched off at the breaker first.
Usually leads toInduction board and coil repair
Induction zones that stop sensing pans, cut out, buzz or show codes, traced to the power boards, the coils, their sensors and the links to the controls.
Shows up asCooktop Element Not Heating
A coil stays black, a radiant ring under the glass never glows, or a zone warms so weakly that a pot of water will not boil.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for Err 044 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the cooktop cool and deal with the cause, such as an empty pan or oil left on high.
Make sure nothing below the cooktop is blocking the air it draws from underneath.
Check that the cooktop works; if Err 044 repeats, book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into induction board and coil repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
Err 044 is not the fan code; Miele uses Err 047 to 049 for the fan. It is a protective shutdown, not a failed part.
