Drum lighting off

Drum lighting does not come on — Energy saving, programme running, or faulty

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does Drum lighting off mean?

Common Causes

  • Drum lighting goes out automatically after a set time or after the programme starts to save energy.
  • The drum lighting is faulty.
