Worst dryer ever – I own all Miele appliances and I must say this is by far the worst product I have ever purchased. We religiously clean out the filter and condenser so don’t buy that rubbish that this is the issue (the product is a lemon) From early on it has consistently beeped after 10min of drying time and we have to let it sit for half a day and pray it will… Read more

dry next cycle. Some loads take 10hrs of start stop cooling before semi dry. To make matter worse it then stopped heating. Had a tech come out from Miele and replace the board hoping that would fix all the issues but NO it’s still a lemon. At the stage where I would never buy another Miele product after the horrible dismissive behaviour from the manufacturer. As all other reviews state This dryer is not fit for purpose. We are giving ours to hard garbage and going to Bosch.

What a big mistake by Miele, obviously very little or no product testing for more than 5 minutes – Purchased 8 years ago at H.N. as a package, wanted the best product going how can you go wrong with Miele!!! We used the dryer for 1.5 years and it annoyed the wife by cutting out regularly, she was the only one in the house as I worked away 3 weeks out of 4. It then went into storage for 2 years while we purchased and built our new house. Now the… Read more

machine if lucky does one load of drying then god forbid dont ask it for more as it dies and tells you to clear airways etc. I remove the condenser every 2 weeks the wife cleans both sets of filters every time it is used without fail, i have even pulled it out into the middle of the laundry to get better airflow. I have cleaned out the centrifugal fan wheels and bottom drain tray to pump? Reading all the reviews I have ONE question for "Miele is there a 100% guaranteed Fix for this machine" I am an electrician and refrigeration mechanic with experience in the white goods area as well, I have seen cheap air conditioners released with issues were the manufacturer has had to replace them with a fit for purpose unit at the manufacturers cost. Does this not apply here.

No Issues until today – I've owned this dryer for 7 years without issues until today. I bought it as a package with the Miele washing machine for $3600. We clean the airways after each use so we don't get the beeping that everyone complanes about. The only issue is now it won't heat and the cooling down light flashes. Took it into Miele today for repairs, so we'll await the fault and cost. Other than that, no dramas. Show details

Great reliable drier (so long as you clean the condenser unit regularly) – A really good drier - heavily used since 2012 and still going strong with no issues. You do have to clean the condenser unit every 6 months or so, not just the lint filters, or you get the problem others describe - ie the clean out airways light coming on, beeping and shutting down. See page 30 at https://m.miele.com.au/forms2/au/sa/manuals-125.aspx?mNo=07850910&asDownload=1 Show details

Try Cleaning the Sensor Probe – There is a probe under the crescent shaped filters pointing out to the right hand side. Make sure that this is clean as dust and fluff build up causes sensor not work correctly. Also be sure to clean condenser regularly. Also the element,accessed by removing the rear panel, may need cleaning as fluff builds up in the element. Once these are all done dryer works a treat.

Doesn’t dry clothes – Dryer turns itself off before clothes are fully dry no matter the setting. It gets them about 3/4 dry which is something I suppose. I would not but this brand ever again, I have to hang the clothes on a clothes rack to finish drying them - huge waste of time. My last cheapo second hand dryer where you just set a time was WAY better. I can’t even sell this expensive piece of useless metal, I wouldn’t want to rip someone else off. Show details

The dryer that DOES NOT DRY anything! – Constantly beeps despite frequently cleaning, with cleaning warning lights. Miele has worked on it 4 times over 8 years and we still cannot run more than one load of washing per day. Possibly the worst dryer of all time. Buy Bosch! MUCH MUCH BETTER! Show details

Zero Stars would be too low a rating!! – Constant beeping, telling me to clean out the filters WHICH I DO CONSTANTLY!!! I have followed the manual in an effort to trouble shoot, but nothing works. Based on other reviews, if I call Miele to send someone out, it will just cost me $$$, with no resolution. Don't buy Miele again!!

Worst dryer ever – We have the same issue as everyone. The dryer beeps after only a few minutes operation, no matter how well you clean all of the filters. We did have a service call out but that was useless. One of the worst experiences with an appliance we have ever had. So disappointed because we paid big bucks to purchase it. Even more inconvenient since we have a very large family.

Constant beeping after only a few minutes in the dryer! – I have a Miele washing machine which I’m happy with. Spent the big bucks to get the dryer as well and extremely disappointing. Since purchase it has never run a full course of drying without constantly beeping, it’s more of a hassle to use it than wait for things to dry naturally. I’ve called the support line and all they could tell me was to… Read more

Big piece of trash – This is the worst dryer!! Do NOT buy. It does not dry clothes but incessantly beeps at you to “clean out airways”. I’ve done everything in the manual including cleaning the condenser or plinth filter or whatever the hell you want to call it.

Miele T7944 – I thought I would give Miele another chance, I switched from a T model, it constantly turned itself off, the drain water pump broke, and forever asking my to clean out airways. Note I clean all filters and lint traps after every load, it makes no difference. Upgraded to a W model, after 1 year, what do you know beeps and warnings to clean out airways. I thought it was me then I checked these reviews and it it seems I am not the only one.  Show details

Expensive, but does not dry – EXPENSIVE Dryer.... bought from Harvey Norman, believing Miele was a premium brand (I have and swear by their dishwasher). It just doesn't dry... I have always nursed it like a baby,  had it to a service agent as I was sure there was issue with sensors or thermostat,  but they said they only cleaned it again and it had nothing wrong with it.  It… Read more

still wouldn't dry, and didn't even collect any water in the condenser water tank!... so I took it to another service agent 200km away (previously had other big problems with local one so didn't really trust them!) They again charged a fee and said it had nothing wrong with it!... it hasn't dried a garment since.  .. it always starts,  then anything from 1 minute to 20 minutes later it beeps and says it's finished... and all clothes are still wet. In a slightly warm humid drum -this happens on every setting. Also,  a big fault complaint... in desperation,  I try use the warm air minute counter, this doesn't even work! - set it for 50 minutes,  and it's beeping finished in 5 minutes!

Keeps beeping after cleaning airways repeatedly – Same problem as everyone else. I clean the airways, clean the filter, empty the water and it still beeps after a few minutes. Even on the first load. I’m having to treat this dryer better than my children! Absolute, monumental waste of money for something I only use during wet weather. Never again.

Miele T 8903 C same issue – Hi, We have the Miele T 8903 C and have the same issue and is a pain to own. Beeps if try to start a second load without waiting for 15-20mins for it to cool down, beeps if you don't empty the water between cycles no matter how full it is, then will beep for no apparent reason other than I think it just wants a rest. We're getting pretty sick of… Read more

it as we live in a cold climate area and rely on the dryer quite a bit through winter. We have only persevered as we paid so much for it and can't afford to just junk it as I wouldn't on sell it to anyone.

Seemed to work brilliantly initially – My wife is a firm supporter of Miele products which we have bought for our kitchen, laundry and holiday house. Miele is dearer than other products but if you get quality for the price all good. After getting the built in oven H4810B repaired only to find it then later stopped functioning again (thermostat doesn't kick in so everything burns). … Read more

Tech said it requires a new mother board - cheaper to replace. Not sure we'd go with another Miele. Now our dryer keeps coming up with the identical error everyone else is writing about which is that it keeps displaying the error message clean our airways and beeping which cleaning doesn't sort. Not sure if my wife is still a supporter but I am definitely less of a fan.

Problem with heat pump as soon as warranty is up – Would not recommend Miele. Have had problems with heat pump not working hence stops after a few minutes snd won’t dry clothes. Seal also broke soon after warranty was up. Would never buy Miele dryer again. Looking for another brand as not willing to give $500 to fix a fault that was obviously there from when it was made. Show details

Doesn’t dry the clothes and starts beeping not long after I press start! – I’m so disappointed with this purchase paid a lot of money and purchased from Harvey Norman we were assured it was the best out there! All it does is keep saying clean filter and won’t dry the clothes out I have use for a dryer sometimes daily and it’s so frustrating, the clothes/sheets/towels begin to smell because they are sitting in the dryer wet!

Works about 2% of the time – To begin with, the dryer door is stiff - in order to get it closed and attempt to start working to begin with it is extremely fiddley and takes a few goes. The dryer starts alarming very soon after it has turned on, staying the filter needs to be emptied - which they always are, before and after use in attempt for it to work for a decent enough… Read more

period. If we miss the alarm wet washing sits in there. It’s easier to just not use it, a waste of money.

A dryer that does not dry? – We purchased this dryer a number of years ago after Milele was recommended by a family member. However, it simply doesn't dry. Setting to Extra Dry improves the drying marginally, but most items have to be hung out to air after due to being moist. Very dissappointing at this price point. I would not recommend Miele products to anyone. Show details
