 flashing — PIN code access activated

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does  flashing mean?

When the display shows  flashing immediately after the tumble dryer is switched on, it means that the PIN code access feature is active. The dryer cannot be operated until the correct PIN code is entered, which prevents unauthorized use.

Common Causes

  • PIN code protection activated (feature )
  • Incorrect or no PIN code entered
