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 coolerKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
Open settings mode, select the safety lock symbol and set it to 0.
Shows up asWine 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.

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.
Open settings mode, select the safety lock symbol and set it to 0.
Confirm with OK, then try the On/Off button again.
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.
