Do not buy a Miele refrigerator unless you are prepared for terrible support, endless service visits, property damage, and complete lack of accountability once something goes wrong. What started as a cooling issue with our “premium” Miele fridge turned into a months-long disaster involving at least 8 repair visits, multiple failed part replacements, hundreds of dollars in spoiled food, and even a leak that damaged the ceiling in our basement directly below the refrigerator! We are STILL waiting to be reimbursed for the damage. The most unbelievable part is that after all of this, the refrigerator still does not work properly.
A Miele technician even came out at one point, told us the fridge was “fine,” and then the exact same cooling issue returned not even a couple of months later. Nobody from Miele or its authorized repair network could ever clearly explain what was actually wrong or what they were fixing. It felt like everyone was blindly guessing, replacing random parts, and hoping something would stick instead of following a real diagnostic process. For a company that markets itself as a luxury appliance brand, the technical incompetence has been staggering.
Their customer service is even worse. Every person you speak to reads from the same script, offers zero real solutions, and passes the problem to someone else. I have wasted countless hours on calls, appointments, follow-ups, and emails trying to get this resolved. I have also emailed Corey Stryker, the supposed area representative, multiple times about the fridge issues and reimbursement to not even get a response.
The showroom experience may look sleek and high-end, but it is completely misleading because the support after the sale is nonexistent. Miele is more than happy to take your money for an expensive appliance, but when the product fails, damages your home, and repeatedly ruins your food, they disappear. This has easily been one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever dealt with from any company at any price point. Spend your hard earned money and time elsewhere!!
