Quick answer

Why a Miele induction hob displays FE48 and the checks that apply before calling service.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so FE48 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.

FE48 is a cooling-system message for Miele induction hobs. The fan may be held up by drawer contents or dust, or the unit may be installed without enough room to breathe.

At a glance

Code FE48
What it means The fan of the hob cooling system is blocked or the hob has insufficient ventilation.
What you can check Clear the drawer under the hob of items and dust, check that 15 mm of space separates the hob from the shelf or oven below, then switch the hob off at the mains to remove the message.
When to call a technician FE48 that stays after the fan and ventilation checks needs a technician.

Fan blocked

Items kept in the drawer under the hob can get in the way of the fan, and so can dust. Clear them out.

Not enough ventilation

Look up the minimum safety distances in your operating and installation instructions. The manual requires 15 mm as a minimum between the hob’s lower edge and the shelf or oven under it. Then switch the hob off at the mains; that disconnection removes the message.
