What to do if, . . . ?
Cause . . .
Remedy . . .
. . . the drum door opens
during the drying cycle?
The machine has overheated.
The temperature limiter
opened the drum door and
caused the machine to turn off
automatically.
Possible reasons for
overheating:
– The lint filter in the door is
clogged.
– The vent duct is blocked.
Before restarting the program,
proceed as follows:
– Release the ON/OFF button.
– Clean the affected part of the
machine.
– Turn on the machine again.
– Reselect the terminated
program.
– Press the “Start” button.
If the drum door opens again,
the Miele Service Dept. should
be contacted.
. . . drops of the water appear
along the upper edge of the
drum door?
This may not be a problem. A
dual filter system with two
seals is used to prevent lint
from becoming deposited in
the heat exchanger.
These two seals may
occasionally cause
condensed water to form on
the door.
Laundry coming into contact
with these drops of water will
dry within in a few minutes.
. . . after cleaning the heat
exchanger, water leaks from
the machine?
Check that the heat exchanger
door has been replaced
correctly. If necessary, remove
and replace it.
. . . the interior drum light
fails to function?
See next page.
. . . you have to open the
door in the event of a power
failure?
See next page.
