What to do when FE47 shows on the cooktopKind of codeCooling 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for FE47 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn off the breaker for the cooktop before you reach into the cabinet below it.
Clear anything touching or crowding the underside, then disconnect the cooktop from power to reset the message.
If the code returns, book a visit so the clearances and fan can be checked.
