Quick answer

Miele refrigeration appliances show F142 when the fridge compartment door is left open for 30 minutes.

Model compatibility

Miele reuses codes across series and model years, so F142 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

At a glance

Code F142
What it means Fridge compartment door open for 30 minutes.
What you can check Close the fridge compartment door; that ends the alarm symbol, tone and flashing light. Pressing OK only mutes it, and it returns after roughly a minute if the door is open.
When to call a technician Call for a service visit if the code persists after you close the door. A door that is fully shut should clear it.

Remedy

  1. Close the fridge compartment door.

How the door alarm behaves

The KFNS 7734 D manual explains the warning this way: if a door stays open too long, an alarm symbol appears in the temperature display, a tone sounds and the light inside flashes. Shutting the door ends all of it. Pressing OK mutes it early, but with the door still open it returns after roughly a minute. You can adjust the time before it triggers, and turn off the tone, in the settings menu.

Compare alerts
