Error code FE47
Appliance Cooktop
Quick answer

FE47 on a Miele induction hob: two causes, two checks and the mains disconnect that clears the message.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so FE47 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

The fan of the hob cooling system is blocked or the hob has insufficient ventilation.

FE47 at a glance

  • Where you see it: on the display of an induction hob cooking zone.
  • Possible cause one: dust, or items in the drawer beneath the hob, are stopping the fan.
  • Possible cause two: the cooling system gets too little air because the installation gaps are too small.

Steps from the support text

  1. Take away anything blocking the fan, whether objects in the drawer under the hob or dust.
  2. Compare your installation with the minimum distances in the operating and installation instructions. Between the underside of the hob and the shelf or oven below, keep 15 mm free at the least.
  3. Once the distance is right, cut the hob off from the mains. Only then does the fault message go out.

Fault still showing? Compare these

The Err fan codes describe a fan that is blocked or defective, and FE48 carries the same fan and ventilation wording as FE47.
