Miele is a German brand that’s known for its outstanding longevity, quality and efficiency. In some cases, a Miele condenser tumble dryer can last you up to 20 years. While that’s impressive, you should be aware that sometimes your Miele tumble dryer may issue fault codes. These codes typically indicate that something is wrong with the appliance and you need to resolve the issue before it will continue working again. In fact, the chances are that unless the fault code and troubleshooting are understood and repaired, the code will remain visible until the issue is fully resolved. In order to know how to handle the situation best, it’s advisable to understand these problems so that you know how to handle them – whether on your own or by calling in the professionals.
Common Miele condenser tumble dryer problems
While you can always consult your Miele condenser tumble dryer owner’s manual for error codes, this process can be time-consuming and what’s more, it can even be confusing due to the technical language most of these manuals make use of.
This is why we’ve prepared a list of some of the most common Miele condenser dryer problems so that when you see a fault number appearing on your appliance, you know exactly what the issue is and this can give you an indication of how you need to resolve it. So, without further ado, here are some of the main fault codes you might encounter:
F066 – Ventilation issues
There are some common ventilation problems that may arise. All of these deal with the airflow in and out of the tumble dryer. They include:
- A small laundry space can mean there’s limited ventilation and airflow;
- The ventilation grille of the tumble dryer is obstructed with object(s);
- The lint filter could be clogged up or excess lint is blocking the heat exchanger;
- Damp clothes resulting from an insufficient spin cycle; and
- There’s an overloading of the dryer drum due to excess wet clothing.
F55 – Drying is ineffective
This error code signals that despite the 180-minute time allocated to drying your laundry, it is still not dry enough. This can be caused owing to:
- An overloaded dryer drum; or
- The laundry was too damp at the start of the cycle for drying.
F50 – Computer glitch/technical problem
This is a problem that usually requires calling in a professional to come and take a look. While you can try turning the tumble dryer off and on again after around 30 seconds to a minute, it is advisable not to try to address this issue by yourself but rather get the help of experts who can identify and troubleshoot the challenge.
Other common problems
In addition to those mentioned above, you may also notice some other problems related to your Miele tumble dryer. Here are some of the most frequent ones that are encountered:
- Overheating of the dryer
- Emission of bad odours
- Strange noises during operation
- Water leaks
- Inability to turn on
- Dryer is not heating
- Dryer is not drying
- The drum is not turning as it should
In either of these cases, it’s suggested that you call an expert for a professional service so that your appliance can get back to working order and functioning effectively once again. Often, these problems are not difficult to resolve. However, they do require a trained eye and experienced technician to take a look and resolve the issue.
