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.
