Error code C
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

Code C is an automatic switch-off on a Miele hob when sensor controls are covered for about 10 seconds.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so C may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Hob switched off automatically: sensor controls covered for more than about 10 seconds.

Quick facts

  • Reason: sensor controls covered over about 10 seconds
  • Typical causes: finger contact, boil-over, an object

Remedy
