Three Err numbers, one meaning on Miele hobs: the fan is blocked or defective.
Model compatibility
Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so Err 047 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Fan blocked or defective.
What you can check
Look for an object blocking the fan and take it out. Keep a drawer under the hob clear of the underside and free of paper or pointed items.
When to call a technician
If the fan stays faulty after you remove the object, call a technician. A fan that whirs during intensive use or after switch-off is normal.
Owner action
Look for an object blocking the fan and take it out.

Normal fan noise
Not every fan sound is a fault. Per Miele’s manual for its KM 7000 induction cooktops, the cooling fan can whir while the cooktop is used intensively and keep running after switch-off. Miele’s support page adds that it stops by itself once the hob has cooled, and may come back on briefly if residual heat is still high.
Drawer under the cooktop
With a drawer fitted below, leave clearance between it (and what is inside) and the underside of the hob. The same manual says pointed or small objects and paper should stay out of that drawer, because the fan can pull them in through the vents and be damaged or cool poorly.

FE44 can also involve a blocked fan, together with heat and cookware.
