Problem Solving Guide - Miele T 586 C Operating Instructions Manual

Electrical appliances should only be
repaired by qualified personnel. In-
correctly repaired machines may
pose a considerable risk to the
user.
There are, however, minor faults which
can be corrected without contacting
the Service Department.
If the indicator lights do not light up,
check that
the "On-Off" button is pressed in
the door is properly closed
the mains plug is plugged in and the
fuse or circuit breaker has not
tripped.
Laundry is not sufficiently dry.
The load consists of dissimilar items in
terms of size and fabric.
Select a longer drying programme
next time.
Activate the programmable function
"Altering the degree of drying".
Small loads or individual items may
cause the programme to terminate pre-
maturely.
Small loads should therefore be
"time-dried".
Drying times are too long.
Clean the fluff filters in the door and
in the door opening.
The laundry was not spun for a suffi-
ciently long time.

Problem solving guide

The air inlet below the drum door may
be blocked, preventing fresh air from
being drawn in.
Ventilation is inadequate (e.g. in a small
room).
When the machine is in operation,
open a door or the window.
Water comes out of the machine just
after the condenser unit has been
cleaned.
Check that the condenser unit has
been correctly replaced, and secure
it if necessary.
Items made of synthetic fibres are
charged with static electricity after
drying.
Static charge can be reduced by ad-
ding fabric conditioner during the final
rinse cycle in the washing machine, or
a fabric conditioner sheet in the tumble
dryer.
Build up of fluff
Fluff comes off textiles naturally during
wearing and washing. The fluff that col-
lects in the filters of a tumble dryer has
no effect on the lifetime of your laundry.
