Change not possible

 Change not possible — Cannot change program once started

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does Change not possible mean?

This message ( Change not possible) appears when you attempt to select a different drying program after a current program has already begun. The dryer prevents unintentional program alterations during operation.

Common Causes

  • Attempting to select a new program while one is already running.
  • Turning the program selector to a different setting during an active cycle.

Repair Steps & Checklist

  1. 1

    Understand that you cannot directly change to another program once a drying program has started.

  2. 2

    To select a new program, first cancel the current program by touching the 'Start/Stop' sensor button and then confirming with 'OK'.

  3. 3

    After cancellation, turn the program selector to the '' (Off) position, then select your desired new program, and touch 'Start/Stop'.
