Miele recalled that dryer model a few years ago. They said there were loose connections inside the dryer with the gas line. Call Miele and tell them you have the dryer and they should come out and fix the issue for free. I have the electric version that I do like and the sensor system works very well...its the entire drum that senses the moisture in the load, not just a small pad of two strips in other dryers. Miele is very good at taking care of issues. And register your machines with them. You have the same washer I have as well.

I had one of their full size washers and , after learning its mother oboard was in need of replacement, I set up the repair. Even though the unit was out of warranty, they did the work and supplied the part FREE! A few months later, some smart ass where I lived removed its dispenser tray. I called to order it and told them it also had issues shutting down during the final spin. He sent me a new dispenser tray and four new leveling legs with rubber slip resistant feet all FREE! I immediately wrote a letter of thanks to their corporate U.S. Headquarters and the machine is flawless. Call them and I'm sure they'll be able to either replace or repair it. They might ask for proof of purchase. If so, tell them it was a gift and you didn't receive the receipt.

Both The Dryer and Washer Are Like Weights Around Miele'
Necks! *LOL*
In particular Miele had no experience in building gas dryers for the domestic market IIRC, especially one of that size. You'd have thought all that careful German R&D and planning would have spotted potential problems, but too many slipped past on the 4xxx and 9xxx series. Hence their very short active product life. Am sure if possible Miele would love to purchase up remaining units in consumer's hands and be done with the things. However thanks to Miele's product/parts guarantee they are stuck producing and or stocking parts even for these discontinued units for fifteen years at least. | ||

Hi Jerrod, The Dryer Manuals in the rest of the world advise using normal plus, rather than normal for mixed loads, or loads with heavy seams. Normal is for loads where all the fabric is the same density etc and there are no variations. What does the manual say about those settings? Cheers Nathan | ||

"I just think they could have done better with this drye
Now you understand why Miele pulled the plug on the 9XXXX series dryers.
Does seem odd because all the problems you are describing are often the same things Americans complain about of Miele's condenser dryers. IIRC, and if incorrect am sure someone will correct, European dryer manufactures tend to produce machines that dry more gently than American versions. That is rather than blasting items dry with very high temperatures, EU dryers like to do he thing slowly. Supposedly this is better for fabrics in theory. | ||

"That is rather than blasting items dry with very high temperatures"
Not really. My modern Bosch condenser runs at 167F during a normal cycle. The reason why European dryer (including vented ones) are slower is the limitation in power draw that they have. Most dryers won't pull more than 2800 watts, while most American dryers add another 2700 watts on top of that. The gas Miele above would dry a load full load in 50 minutes becasuse it got hotter than other vented Euro dryers with their weak heating element. reviewed.com tested the Miele dryer and found it to be very gentle because of it's high airflow and relatively low operating temp of around 130F - most dryers range from 140 to 150F (and some GE dryers they tested peaking at 180F).

open all the windows of your apartment and let the nice 23F
What are you trying to do, see to it I am carried off or something! *LOL* Am already suffering through a bit of the flu as it tis! *LOL*
Did some reading upon ambient room temps and condenser dryers and the common advice was nothing below 49C. General consensus was the colder room air harder dryer must work to heat. Being as all this may did try it once (opened windows and cracked front door to create a draft), didn't notice any vast difference in performance. IIRC outdoor temp was in the mid 30sF | ||

My Bosch Axxis is in the basement, approx. 50F room temp. It now dries faster than in the summer, when temps reach the upper 70s. The colder the air sucked into the condenser - to a point, as you mentioned - the faster the it can condense steam into water, thus the faster moisture is removed from the load. As you have seen for yourself during this year's heat and humidity wave: condenser dryers like it cool and dry, otherwise things take forever to dry.
Don't know if the dryer has to work harder to get hot with low ambient temps. Mine still gets really hot.
And get well soon! | ||

Turbo Setting
IIRC this is common on both vented and non-vented dryers from the EU market. On my Lavatherm the thing is called "Quick", but the cycle operates pretty much the same: dryer tumbles one way only until a certain point of dryness is reached, then it will commence the standard sequence of reverses.
IIRC my Lavatherm when set to "Quick" operates as a normal non-reversing dryer until "damp dry" setting is reached. Then it begins the sequence of tumble one way, reverse, etc.... Had no idea reverse tumbling could slow down the drying process, but apparently is must do something hence the "Turbo" or whatever settings. | ||
