You have come to rely on your Miele tumble dryer, but in some cases, the appliance will not work at all or will not work optimally. This can be caused by several Miele tumble dryer error codes, whose purpose is to notify you of what the error is and how it can be resolved. In some cases, the solution may be a simple one. However, in other cases, it may mean that you’ll need to get in touch with a professional to help you resolve the problem. Either way, having a good grasp of the issue at hand is the first step to having the issue solved. If you’re wondering what codes correspond to various Miele tumble dryer problems, you’ve come to the right place.
Miele tumble dryer troubleshooting
From too much water in the drum to an imbalanced load, a dirty lint filter and more, there are multiple Miele tumble dryer faults that you could face. However, that’s not to say that they can’t be resolved. In fact, this quick and easy guide should help you figure out where the faults lie and how they can be fixed. Let’s take a closer look.
The dryer is not drying
There are several reasons why your Miele tumble dryer may not be drying. Although this is not an extensive list, some of the possible reasons and their eventual solutions include:
- A power issue: power issues may mean that the dryer is not getting sufficient power to dry your clothes properly. This could also result in significant energy wastage and lead to much longer drying time than usual. Troubleshooting this issue could involve taking a look at the power cord, the wall socket or even your electrical wiring altogether. This will require the help of a professional.
- Dryer capacity exceeded: this can be caused due to a dirty lint screen or blocked vents. The former is relatively easy to fix and you can do it yourself. The latter may mean having to move your Miele tumble dryer to another place in your home where the air vents can circulate air more effectively.
- Malfunction of parts: here, you may need to have a look at the heating elements and the moisture sensors. It is advisable when troubleshooting this problem to speak to a professional.
The dryer is not heating
You may also encounter Miele heat pump tumble dryer problems resulting in poor heating of the appliance which also affects the drying and its optimal operation. The causes of this could vary from faulty elements to the thermostat cutting out. Once again, if this is a problem you’re encountering with your Miele tumble dryer, we encourage you to get in touch.
Other troubleshooting efforts you can make
Apart from your dryer not heating or drying properly, you may also get error codes on the screen of your appliance. These error codes are a simplified way of letting you know what needs to be done to resolve the problem. In some instances, they may be rectified quite easily such as switching the appliance off and on again after around 30 seconds to a minute. However, for more serious problems, we urge you to contact a professional. Here are some of the most common codes and the methods for troubleshooting them:
- F66: this is an issue related to ventilation and a simple solution could be ensuring that the tumble dryer’s vents are not blocked. An additional step you can take here is to ensure that the lint filter is clean and not obstructed. The F66 code also applies to cases where an insufficient spin cycle has left your clothes damp. To resolve this, remove the laundry from the dryer and put them in the washer where you select a spin cycle to run them through once again. In addition to this, you may find that your dryer drum is overloaded and all you have to do is remove some of the clothing and restart the cycle of drying once more.
- F55: this is a signal that indicates an overrun time error. Use a professional to assist with this.
- F50: this is a general computer error that typically appears when you open the dryer door. Once again, it’s advisable to call in the pros.
- F39: this signals an error with the electronic control board and professional assistance will be required.
- F32: this error code appears when the door is unable to lock properly. It could be due to a faulty hinge or a malfunctioning door lock mechanism. To have this fixed, call a professional to replace the necessary parts.
