Start/Stop sensor flashing

Start/Stop Sensor Flashing (after 10 mins) — Energy saving mode activated

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does Start/Stop sensor flashing mean?

Approximately 10 minutes after a programme ends, the Start/Stop sensor begins to flash and the display goes out. This is a normal energy-saving function, not an error. The drum may also turn at intervals during the anti-crease phase.

Common Causes

  • The dryer has entered an energy-saving mode after the program concluded.
