Interior drum lighting off

Interior drum lighting does not come on — Automatic energy-saving feature

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does Interior drum lighting off mean?

The interior drum lighting automatically switches off when the door is closed or after a few minutes when the door is open. This is a normal energy-saving function, not a fault.

Common Causes

  • The dryer's door is closed, and the light is off by design to save energy.
  • The dryer door has been open for several minutes, and the light has automatically turned off to conserve energy.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Ensure the dryer is switched on; the drum light should illuminate when the door is opened.

  2. 2

    If the dryer is on and the door is opened, and the light still doesn't come on at all, check the main power supply to the appliance.

  3. 3

    This is usually normal behavior; no specific troubleshooting is required unless the light never comes on under any condition.
