    What to do if the “Clean out airways” light comes on in Miele T 494 C Dryer?
    • D
      Daniel FarleyAug 15, 2025
      If the “Clean out airways” light illuminates, it means the fluff filters are blocked or the condenser unit hasn't been cleaned in a while. Turn off the dryer using the 'l-On/0-Off' button. Clean the fluff filters after each use and ensure you regularly clean the condenser unit.

      If water leaks after cleaning the condenser unit, it means the condenser unit hasn't been correctly locked into place. Ensure that the condenser unit and cover are firmly in position and locked into place again.

    Why does my Miele Dryer take so long to dry?
    • L
      laceybrownAug 21, 2025
      The drying process might be prolonged due to several reasons: insufficient ventilation (open a door or window to increase airflow), a blocked vent below the door (remove any obstructions), the dryer's inability to blow air out correctly (clean the fluff filters and condenser unit), or insufficiently spun laundry (spin laundry at the highest possible speed in the washing machine).

    Why is my Miele T 494 C Dryer laundry not sufficiently dry?
    • M
      Michael MurrayAug 25, 2025
      If your laundry isn't drying properly, it might be because the load consists of different fabrics. Next time, select a more suitable drying programme.

    What to do if my Miele Dryer fails to start?

      Jessica GregoryAug 27, 2025
      If the tumble dryer isn't starting, it could be due to an incorrect selection procedure. Repeat the switch-on procedure. Also, check if the machine is plugged in, the door is closed properly, the “I-On/0-Off” button and the “START” button were pushed, and whether a fuse or circuit breaker has tripped.

      The “Empty out container” light comes on because the condensed water container is full or not correctly positioned. Empty the container and ensure it is correctly positioned.

    What to do if the “Anti-crease/Finish” light flashes on my Miele T 494 C?

      If the “Anti-crease/Finish” light is flashing, try switching the machine off and on again, then select the programme and press “START.” Alternatively, cold surrounding temperatures below freezing may be affecting the machine (frozen condensed water), so install the appliance in a warmer room. If the light continues to flash there is a problem. Contact Miele Service Department.

    Why are my synthetic items statically charged after using my Miele T 494 C Dryer?
    • D
      Dr. Jorge Anderson MDSep 5, 2025
      Static charge on synthetic items after drying can be reduced by adding a fabric conditioner during the final rinse in the washing machine.

    What does it mean if the “Drying” indicator light flashes on my Miele T 494 C?
    • J
      Julian AndersonSep 8, 2025
      If the “Drying” indicator light flashes, it means that the programme selector was moved after the beginning of the programme, but the programme continues to run correctly. Turn the programme selector back to its original position and the light will go out.
