What Power Failure
actually means.
When the supply drops for a moment and comes back, Miele's microwave and speed ovens remember that it happened and show the message. The cooking process that was running does not resume by itself, so food may be only partly heated.

What to do when Power Failure shows on the microwaveKind of codePower and supply
The microwave has noticed trouble with the power reaching it: an outage or a brownout that interrupted a cycle, a voltage too low for the magnetron to start, or a supply that dipped when something else on the circuit switched on. As often as not the cause is the circuit, the outlet in the cabinet above or the breaker rather than the unit; a main fuse that blows again after a reset points inside, where only a technician goes.
Usually leads toMicrowave diagnostic visit
A visit that times a cup of water against the clock, checks the door and its switches, then tests the high-voltage section, the controls and the moving parts one at a time until a single part is named.
Shows up asWhat a Microwave Error Code Is Telling You
A microwave error code may be a letter and a number on the display, a lock or demo word, a row of dashes, or a beep with a blinking clock, and it can show while the microwave still heats or block every key until it is cleared.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele's own guidance for Power Failure on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the appliance off and on again.
Check the food and restart the cooking process from the beginning.
If Power Failure appears without any outage in the house, check whether the breaker is tripping and book a visit to look at the supply.
Still there?
It usually turns into microwave diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
Power Failure is not the same as 12:00 on the display, which Miele uses when power has been off for more than 150 hours. It does not mean the appliance itself switched off from overheating, which happens silently when the vents are blocked.

Three details make the booking useful: the characters or beeps just as they appeared, every character of the model number, and whether a cup of water still warms up. With those, the technician arrives already halfway to the answer.
