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
- Switch the dryer off and back on.
- Clean the lint filters and airflow openings; if the filters are washed, dry them thoroughly before reinstalling.
- Clean the plinth/toe-kick filter thoroughly and do not reinstall it while dripping wet.
- 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.
- Reinstall the toe-kick filter correctly and close the heat-exchanger access panel without damaging the rubber seal.
