• Check that the dryer's dedicated 240V circuit breaker in your home electrical panel is in the ON position; if tripped, turn it OFF then back ON
• Remove and clean the lint filter thoroughly before each use, ensuring no lint debris blocks airflow
• Inspect the external dryer vent on your home's exterior to ensure it is not blocked by lint, ice, or debris
• Verify the dryer vent hose is properly connected and not kinked or crushed
• Avoid overloading the dryer drum; dry loads should fill approximately three-quarters of the drum capacity
• Ensure the dryer door closes completely and latches securely with an audible click
• Perform a complete power reset by switching the circuit breaker to OFF, waiting 60 seconds, then switching it back to ON
• Run a test cycle to confirm if error clears after reset
• Contact a certified Miele technician if error persists after these checks, as heating element replacement requires professional service
