FE44 means the Miele induction cooktop got too hot. Miele names three reasons: it needs to cool, the cookware is not suited to induction, or the fan is blocked. Miele cooktop display What to do when FE44 shows on the cooktop ### Kind of code Temperature 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 to Induction 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 as Cooktop 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. ### Make Miele A family-owned German maker known for built-in appliances, including cooktops. ### Source Miele USA cooktop support: FE44 From Miele's US cooktop support for induction models. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for FE44 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Let it cool and test your pans with a magnet; the magnet should stick to the base. 02 Switch the breaker off before checking the space under the cooktop. 03 Clear the fan area below; if FE44 persists, book a visit. ### Still there? It usually turns into [induction board and coil repair](https://cooktoprepair.center/services/induction-board-and-coil-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do FE44 is not the same as the fan codes FE47 to FE49, though a blocked fan can cause it. It is a heat shutdown, not a message about the supply voltage. ## What you may notice with it. The cooktop problems FE44 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

Let it cool and test your pans with a magnet; the magnet should stick to the base. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can the wrong pan cause FE44 on a Miele? Yes. Miele lists unsuitable cookware as one of the causes. ### How do I test a pan for my Miele induction cooktop? Hold a magnet to the base. If it sticks, the pan is generally suitable. ### Which of Miele's three FE44 causes should I check first? Miele names three: the cooktop needs to cool, the cookware is not suited to induction, or the fan is blocked. Cooling takes only a wait, and a magnet test checks the pan. The fan area below is the last thing you can look at before booking a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Miele induction cooktop showing FE44 | CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/error-codes/miele-fe44/)** **[Book a visit with CooktopRepair.center](https://cooktoprepair.center/schedule/)**
