Start/Stop Flashing Slowly & Display Dark

Start/Stop Flashing Slowly & Display Dark — Dryer in Standby mode

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does Start/Stop Flashing Slowly & Display Dark mean?

The dryer's display is dark, and the Start/Stop button is blinking slowly. This indicates the appliance has entered energy-saving Standby mode. The drum may still turn at intervals during the anti-crease phase.

Common Causes

  • Dryer has automatically switched to Standby mode to save energy.
  • The anti-crease phase is active, causing intermittent drum rotation during standby.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Press any button on the control panel to end Standby mode and reactivate the display.

  2. 2

    Open and close the door to exit Standby mode and bring the display back.

  3. 3

    If a program was running, it will resume or complete its anti-crease phase once standby is exited.
