Common Reasons This Fault Appears
Temperature sensor fault
A fault with one of the internal temperature sensors can trigger this error code on Miele tumble dryers.

Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the fluff filters
Before calling an engineer, ensure the fluff filters are clean. A blocked filter is the most common cause of dryer faults and should always be checked first. Clean the door filter after every cycle and check the plinth filter regularly.
Restart the tumble dryer
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A power reset can sometimes clear a temporary fault.
Miele advises that if the fault persists after a reset, the appliance cannot be repaired without professional assistance.
