Start/Stop flashing (slowly)

Start/Stop sensor control flashing — Energy saving mode activated after programme

Miele · Tumble Dryers

What does Start/Stop flashing (slowly) mean?

Approximately 10 minutes after a programme finishes, the Start/Stop sensor control will begin to flash slowly, and other indicators will dim or go out. This is a normal energy-saving feature and not a fault. The drum may also turn intermittently during the Anti-crease phase.

Common Causes

  • Automatic energy saving function activated
  • Tumble dryer in Anti-crease phase
