Display dark, Start/Stop flashing slowly

Display dark and Start/Stop button flashing slowly — Dryer in standby mode

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does Display dark, Start/Stop flashing slowly mean?

The dryer's display screen is dark, and the 'Start/Stop' button is slowly flashing. This indicates that the dryer is in its normal standby mode to conserve energy and is not a fault.

Common Causes

  • The dryer has entered standby mode after a period of inactivity.
  • The 'Display switch-off' setting is enabled in the dryer's settings menu.

  2. 2

  3. 3

    No further action is needed, as this is a normal, energy-saving operational state.
