Miele Dryer Technical Fault Error Code

What it means

The dryer shows Technical fault with no obvious cause; Miele directs you to power-cycle the dryer and thoroughly clean the airflow filters and heat-exchanger area.

Try this first

  1. Switch the dryer off and back on.
  2. Clean the lint filters and airflow openings; if the filters are washed, dry them thoroughly before reinstalling.
  3. Clean the plinth/toe-kick filter thoroughly and do not reinstall it while dripping wet.
  4. Inspect the heat exchanger for visible lint. Do not touch the sharp cooling fins; if vacuuming, use a dust brush lightly so the fins are not bent.
