What FE44
actually means.
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.

What to do when FE44 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 FE44 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let it cool and test your pans with a magnet; the magnet should stick to the base.
Switch the breaker off before checking the space under the cooktop.
Clear the fan area below; if FE44 persists, book a visit.

It usually turns into 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.
