Technical fault

Technical fault is shown on the tumble dryer display.

There is no obvious cause.

Switch the tumble dryer off and then on again.

Clean the fluff filters as follows:

  • Open the door.

  • Pull the upper fluff filter forwards to remove it.

  • Remove the fluff from the surface of all the fluff filters and the perforated laundry deflector.

  • Turn the yellow rotary control on the lower fluff filter in the direction of the arrow (until you hear it click).

  • Hold the rotary control and pull the fluff filter forwards to remove it, see figure.

  • Use a vacuum cleaner with a long crevice nozzle attached to remove any visible fluff from the upper air flow openings.

  • Push the lower fluff filter back in completely and lock it with the yellow rotary control.

  • Push the upper fluff filter all the way in.

  • Close the door.

Check the heat exchanger unit and, if soiled, clean it as follows:

  • Press the round, indented area on the heat exchanger access panel to open it.

  • Pull the plinth filter out by the handle. This causes the right-hand guide pin in the tumble dryer to come out. This pin ensures that the heat exchanger access panel can only be closed if the plinth filter is inserted the right way round.

  • Risk of injury if you touch the cooling fins with your hands.

    You could cut your hands.

    Use a vacuum cleaner with a dusting brush attached to clean the cooling fins of the heat exchanger.

  • Look to see if fluff has accumulated on the plinth filter and remove as necessary.

  • If there is visible soiling, clean the heat exchanger using a vacuum cleaner with a dusting brush attached.

  • Only pass the dusting brush over the heat exchanger cooling fins lightly, without applying any pressure.

  • Take care not to bend the cooling fins out of shape or to damage them.

  • Carefully vacuum up any visible fluff or soiling. When reassembling, the plinth filter must be positioned correctly in front of the heat exchanger unit.

  • First insert the handle – with the plinth filter attached – over the two guide pins. The word Miele on the handle must be the correct way up.

  • Push the plinth filter in completely. The act of pushing in the plinth filter will also push in the right-hand guide pin.

  • Close the heat exchanger access panel. The tumble dryer can only be operated with the plinth filter fitted correctly and the heat exchanger access panel closed. The access panel must be closed correctly to ensure that water cannot leak from the condenser system and to ensure that the tumble dryer functions properly.

If you cannot start a programme or the same message appears again, there is a fault.

This is a technical fault that you cannot remedy yourself.
