Miele refrigerator model families
Miele refrigeration in the US is the built-in MasterCool program, and the prefix tells you the configuration — the first step in any Miele refrigerator repair. Combination columns with both fridge and freezer use KF (KF 2982 Vi 36-inch French-door, KF 2902 Vi 36-inch bottom-freezer, KF 2802 Vi 30-inch); single-temperature refrigerator columns use K (K 2902 Vi 36-inch, K 2802 Vi 30-inch, K 2602 Vi 24-inch); and dedicated freezer columns use F (F 2902 Vi 36-inch, F 2412 Vi 24-inch, F 2472 Vi 18-inch). KFN 7795 D is a PerfectCool bottom-mount. Vi marks an integrated, panel-ready unit; SF a stainless front.
What the technology means for service
A MasterCool column uses MasterFresh storage, DynaCool air circulation, NoFrost, BrilliantLight, Push2Open and the MasterSensor TFT display, with an integrated IceMaker and Active AirClean filtration on equipped units. Because these are built-in columns rather than freestanding boxes, the installation, the door panels and the airflow path are specific to the model, which is why the configuration matters for service. Identifying whether you own a combination, a refrigerator-only or a freezer column tells a technician the sealed system, fan and door hardware involved.
Reading the model and where to find it
The rating plate is usually on an interior side wall near the top or along the door jamb. Record the full spaced model string, including the Vi or SF suffix, before booking so the correct fan, sensor, board, gasket or icemaker part is matched to your unit.
Columns, combinations and panel-ready installs
The point of MasterCool is flexible, built-in refrigeration: you can pair a K refrigerator column with an F freezer column, or choose a single KF combination, all panel-ready to match the cabinetry. That modularity shapes service too — a fault in a freezer column says nothing about a neighbouring refrigerator column, so the model number identifies exactly which cabinet to address. Giving a technician the full number, and the Vi or SF finish, ensures the right door, seal and sealed-system parts are matched. You can browse comparable units on the refrigerator models page.
