Possible Causes

Failed compressor, defective inverter module, sensor feedback error in heat pump circuit, wiring fault between compressor and control

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Heat pump systems contain high-pressure refrigerant; do not open sealed refrigeration components.

Basic user-level checks:

  • Ensure condenser and filters are completely clean to avoid overloading the heat pump.
  • Listen during operation: if the compressor never starts (no humming or vibration) while the fan runs, a compressor or inverter fault is likely.
  • Inspect visible wiring and connectors to the compressor and inverter module for damage or loose connections.
  • Do not attempt to open or repair the sealed system yourself. Contact a Miele-authorized technician for pressure, leak, and electrical tests on the heat pump circuit.
