Moderatorif the panel has failed then looks like touch circuit comes with the top panel
got part no but no one has sold one anywhere
you can check the loom as its not uncommon to break wires as they leave the bottom of the door

Moderatoryou would have to strip it and see
it may not be touch buttons but small tactile switches
if you remove the panel and check. there seems to be an electronic panel underneath where the switches are
look for water damage, bad connections etc

ModeratorLiebherr make the fridges for Miele
as for country of manufacture, Germany is no different that a lot of western countries with very high labour cost meaning the cost of manufacturing in germany would make the appliance to costly. you will find all the research and development will still probably be there with the manufacturing overseen by german engineering staff

Dave

Moderatoryou wont need a diagram if the contacts are broken or burnt you should be able to see it
you can also test eact contact with a meter making sure they close at the correct time
add to this a lot of grill controls can also have an energy regulator as well and if fitted this can go faulty

Moderatorthe blockage will be in the hose from the pump to the drum. probably in the eco ball at the base of the tub
Dave
electrofix
Moderatorfirst find the pressure sw and make sure the pipe to it are not blocked
Dave
electrofix
Moderatorhow long does it take to fill
the machine has a pressure sw and may have a water flow sensor to know how much water is going in
you need to check
1 sufficient water is coming in
2 the pressure switch is activatingall this has to happen within a given time to avoid the error
Dave

Moderatornever done one myself so dont know
you have all the info i have
Dave
electrofix
Moderatorassume the front panel is clipped on somehow but never taken one apart as it seemed a long process
they are supposed to be self cleaning but they are not even 80{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} efficient in doing then in my opinion, seen lots of them clogged

Moderatorheatpump dryer do not really get hot its more like a luke warm but if yours does not dry or get warm you need to check the compressor is being energised. if it is it should be warm to the touch
its also one of those units that is supposed to be self cleaning but its not 100 percentlift out the filter inside the door and look down inside. look to see how much fluff residue is covering the evaporator. if its blocked it reduces airflow and therfore drying
be careful its delicate so dont prod at it too hard
I use a length of wire coat hanger to gently pick off the fluff and lift it out but it is time consuming
