# Miele wine unit will not switch off: the safety lock is on

The safety lock on Miele's under-counter wine units keeps the unit from being switched off, the temperature from being changed and DynaCool from being turned on by mistake.

## What Safety lock symbol actually means.

The safety lock on Miele's under-counter wine units keeps the unit from being switched off, the temperature from being changed and DynaCool from being turned on by mistake. While it is on, its symbol lights in the display. It is switched off again in settings mode.

What to do when Safety lock symbol shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.

### Usually leads to No repair

Open settings mode, select the safety lock symbol and set it to 0.

### Shows up as Wine Cooler Error Code

A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

### Make Miele

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for Safety lock symbol on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Open settings mode, select the safety lock symbol and set it to 0.

02

Confirm with OK, then try the On/Off button again.

03

If the keys still do nothing with the lock off, book a visit for the control.

### Cleared?

The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.

### What not to do

The safety lock is a setting, not a stuck button. Keys that ignore every touch with the lock off point to the control panel.

## What you may notice with it.

The wine cooler problems Safety lock symbol tends to arrive with. Answer these at the wine cooler before anyone is booked.

## Questions about Safety lock symbol.

### Can I clear Safety lock symbol myself?

Open settings mode, select the safety lock symbol and set it to 0.

### Why can't I change the temperature on my Miele wine unit?

The safety lock blocks temperature changes. Turn it off in settings mode.

### Is the safety lock useful?

Yes, in a busy kitchen or with children around, since it stops the unit being switched off by accident.

### The lock is off but the unit still won't switch off. What now?

Book a visit; the control panel then needs checking.
