Miele stove display shows 12:00 after a long outage

Miele's oven keeps the time through short outages, but after a power failure of more than 150 hours it shows 12:00 and needs the date and time again.

Book a visit

Three short steps, about a minute.

or call (844) 415-7620

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for 12:00 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Set the time of day.

02

Set the date as well.

03

Check other settings you care about, such as the temperature unit; book a visit if 12:00 returns without an outage.

Cleared?

The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.

What not to do

12:00 is not a control board failure. It only means the stove was without power for a long time.

What you may
notice with it.

The stove problems 12:00 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.

In Miele's own words

There was a power failure for more than 150 hours.

Questions
about 12:00.

Can I clear 12:00 myself?
Set the time of day.
We were away for a week and my Miele shows 12:00. Is it broken?
No. After more than 150 hours without power, Miele asks you to reset the date and time.
Do I lose my Miele settings after a long outage?
The clock and date need resetting. Check your other preferences too.
My Miele shows 12:00 every few days. Why?
That suggests repeated power loss. Have the breaker and connection checked.

Back to your everyday

Still showing 12:00?

Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
