What to do when Err 047 shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Cooling fan and downdraft

The fan that pulls air through the electronics under an induction top, or the blower behind a downdraft vent, turned slower than the control expected or would not stop. A drawer packed tight against the chassis, a greasy filter and a loose plug come first; a worn motor or its speed sensor comes after.

### Usually leads to Cooling fan and downdraft repair

The fan that cools an induction or touch-control cooktop's boards, and the downdraft vent that rises behind the cooking surface or pulls air down between the burners.

### Shows up as Cooktop Fan Runs Constantly

The cooling fan under an induction or touch-control cooktop keeps running long after cooking, or a downdraft blower will not shut off or retract.

## Questions about Err 047.

### Can I clear Err 047 myself?

Switch the cooktop off at the breaker before reaching under it to clear the fan area. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Where is the fan on a Miele cooktop?

Underneath, drawing air from the cabinet space below.

### Do Err 048 and 049 mean anything different from 047?

Miele lists all three with the same meaning.

### What can block the fan behind Err 047 on a Miele?

Miele says the fan is blocked or has a defect. Items stored in the cabinet below, dust or a shelf too close to the underside are what you can check yourself. A defective fan needs a visit.
