What Disinfection temperature not reached
actually means.
Little Giants machines offer disinfection programs for clinics, care homes and salons. If the water does not reach the program's temperature, the machine reports that the disinfection cycle was not carried out correctly, and the load cannot be counted as disinfected.

What to do when Disinfection temperature not reached shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeTemperature and alarms
The controller has seen a temperature outside the band it was set for and is saying so: a box above its alarm point, a fryer vat or an oven cavity that tripped its high-limit, or a dish machine rinse that never came up to heat. Often the cause sits outside the unit, such as a door left open during a delivery, a coil packed with grease, a kitchen far hotter than the maker allows or a booster fed cold water. Checking the door, the coil and the air around the unit is fair; move the product if a cold box stays above 41°F, and book the visit.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele Professional's own guidance for Disinfection temperature not reached on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Treat the load as not disinfected and keep it apart from clean linen.
Start the program again, as Miele directs.
If the message returns, book a visit so the heater and temperature sensing can be tested, and note the event in your infection-control log.
Still there?
It usually turns into reach-in and prep table repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
This message is about temperature, not a failed wash; the load may look clean and still not be disinfected. It is not an intake problem, although a restricted hot supply can make heating slower.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
