My dryer does not work on certain programs. It seems to work fine on the “timed” programs eg silks,delicates smoothing but the rest don’t work. It doesn’t even try to turn. I have cleaned all out and the element is fine. Just won’t start up on certain programs. I don’t know how to check for error codes either. Please help. Thanks.

check sensors
so do all the programmes on one side of the knob work, but none work on the other half?
does it not even display how long the programme will take on the display? on the programmes that you say do not work
and no error codes???
you may need to remove the dial knob to check that it is in fact turning the control arm, perhaps it sometimes catches/sometimes not
it will then be a case of checking the control board, I think!

Thanks for the reply mate. Yes it says how long but just doesn’t start. I was trying to get it to go with some light washing whitch nearly comes out dry from the washer so I will have another try when I wash some heavy clothes. Maybe the dryer thinks it is empty?
I don’t know how to get error codes up?
some driers do not like very small amounts of washing in there as the humidity sensor cannot tell how wet they are so will usually stop prematurely. but they do normally start.
miele - i have never been fortunate enough to come across one but imagine they have extra sensors so possibly a weight sensor so perhaps not enough washing in there.
but would expect none of the programmes to work in that case.
error code should just come up if it detects a problem.
the fact it displays the program duration would indicate to me that the program has been selected and the onboard memory chip is working.
try a heavier wash load and wetter but obviously not dripping wet
the humidity sensors usually take there readings whilst the machine is spinning but yours is not getting that far unless miele machines process the info in a diff order

Ok mate. I will give it a go. Probably next weekend now. I will let you know how I get on thanks.

Check the brushes have not worn to nothing.
They are under the lid.
If they are OK check that there is conductivity between the drum paddle (the metal section) and one of the brush tracks.
Check that there is conductivity between the other brush track and the drum.
Wipe the drum paddles with meths on rag to clean off any softener.

hi richard
would that cause the m/c not to work on some programs but not others though?
i would have thought none of the programs would run if that were the case here!

The brushes are only "used" on the sensed cycles like cotton.
The timed cycles don't sense the dryness of the laundry and just go by time.
