Repair guidance / Miele / BR5
The display works but cooking will not start
Note any clock symbol, lock indication or message visible on the display. The model manual may describe normal user settings, but do not treat every no-heat complaint as a clock issue. Include whether the change followed a power interruption.
A different pattern: the fan makes an unusual noise
Say whether the sound starts with cooking, appears only when hot or continues during cooling. A cooling fan can normally run after cooking on some models. Describe the changed sound and duration; a noise alone does not identify which fan or fitting needs attention.
Equipment sharing space with other fittings
Mention stacked equipment, adjacent storage or a cupboard arrangement that limits access. An external picture can be useful. Leave the surrounding fittings in place until the person assessing the job confirms what access is required.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the display works but cooking will not start”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the display works but cooking will not start”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the fan makes an unusual noise”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Petts Wood postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the fan makes an unusual noise” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — equipment sharing space with other fittings — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
