Problem solved! Fitted the control panel and it now works again. I am soooooo happy! My faith in Miele is well and truly restored. I now have a valid reason to stamp on slugs (just kidding!) :o) Chuffed!!!

To be honest, once I discovered the frazzled slug, I forgot all about the second sensor. It's surely too much of a coincidence NOT to be causing the problem. There is nothing on the other side, although the contacts and solder points appear to be a little corroded on both sides. I tried...

Soooo, there's been a development! Not one to give in easily, I managed to get the front panel off after watching a few generic YouTube videos. And looky what I found on the back of the control panel!?!? I'm not even sure what that is! It looks like a slug or something! Anyway, I tried...

Back to the drawing board! Just rang Currys to bag there £119 all-in repair, but surprise surprise, they don't fix Miele. Parts are obviously too expensive. What a disaster this is turning out to be. Looks like my initial fear of a bill north of £200 is looking more and more likely...

I couldn't get access to the front sensor - was struggling getting the front and side panels off, so consider me officially giving up. I bought Miele specifically because I was in the Army and I remember the Miele washing machine and tumble dryer running pretty much 24/7 for 3 years! I have a...

This thread, which has similar symptoms, zipper says there are two NTC sensors, one in the back and one in the front. Would I have two of them too? //www.diynot.com/diy/threads/miele-t4809c-tumble-dryer-not-heating-up.288028/ Quote: "Before rushing out to buy spares you ought to check...

Ok, electronic unit arrived and installed. No difference! :o( When I try the "timed drying warm air", it craps out after a couple of minutes and the "cooling down" light flashed and it beeps constantly...

I have tried the "Timed drying warm air" option on the default 15 minutes, but it never gets warm...

Wilco. Thanks again for all your help...

I'm fairly sensible, so fire away jj4091...

I'm sorry jj4091, I'm a complete novice at this, I wouldn't know where to start with that. Could you elaborate please?

It is vented to the outside. I've checked every possible place for build up of fluff and blockages but there aren't any...

I don't know what that means Richard. Can you elaborate please? It seems the time it dried with the 'extra dry' button pressed in was a one off. I tried if again and the dryer stopped after a few seconds and started beeping... Would the fact this dryer has spent its entire life (all 2 years 3...

Update: I've managed to find a way of doing the diagnostic and the fault code is -2260. Does it mean anything to you?

It's a complete shot in the dark. As it doesn't look like any of the other 3 items as being faulty, it's just a process of elimination I guess...
