 flashes

Display shows  flashing — Lock code active, dryer cannot be operated

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does  flashes mean?

After the dryer is switched on, '' flashes in the time display and a program cannot be selected. This means the lock code function is activated, preventing the dryer from being used without authorization.

Common Causes

  • The lock code function has been activated.
  • The correct code has not been entered after switching on the dryer.
