Oct 23, 2011  This is to demonstrate to Miele customer services what appears to be a serious flaw with their 2010 induction hob control panel. Several Miele engineers have.

Won't have Miele anything. Got an error message FE 31 and the cooktop is.

These cooktops have a terrible defect. The 'filter' mainboard has most likely exceeded its current limits and the built-in pcb fuse has fried. This 'fuse' is a cost cutting measure that electolux used to save money that will cost you lots of money with repeat repairs. It will cost you about $450 plus labor to get repaired.

To add insult to injury, most repair techs will not be familiar with induction range repair. I've now repaired mine twice for defects in this board.

If you have a 2007-2011 Kenmore or Electrolux, or a current model Electrolux ICON, it ultimately WILL develop this problem. And Electrolux and Sears will already have your money and the warranty will have expired.

I have been very satisfied with my Miele induction cooktop ever since I had it installed. I used to have a Miele gas cooktop, but when renovating my house, decided to go off gas for the environmental and financial savings, and I couldn't be happier. The induction cooktop is even faster to boil water than gas, using the 'boost' option, and once you learn what power level works for simmering your different sized pots, you have perfect and absolute control, and nothing ever boils over. I feel much more comfortable leaving the house with a stock pot simmering on the induction cooktop versus gas. And cleaning up any spills on the glass surface is a breeze compared to trying to keep clean the iron hob and stainless steel of my old gas cooktop. I chose the basic, 3-burner model because I have never had four pots simultaneously cooking in my kitchen, and I find the three sizes cover all the pots I need. I only ever use the basic power settings or boost, haven't used timers or anything fancy, but for basic operation it is very simple and straightforward.
