How to Disassemble Miele T1 Heatpump Dryer

Hi Rod

I’ve got an T8000WP and a T8929WP. I love that both of them get clothes fully dry, just like an old condenser. There is no waiting on them to flash dry when you unload the dryer.

Both of them had the secondary condenser badly clogged with lint when I got them and would constantly generate a clean filter message and fail to dry properly. Once the secondary condenser was cleaned, they’ve worked perfectly. It would’ve made sense to make the secondary door easily removable and have steps in the manual suggesting it be vacuumed yearly. I’m amazed that Miele haven’t replaced the door filter with an all in one foam and sponge condenser unit like the T1’s have. Cleaning the door filter is one of the most irritating parts about the 8000 series.

That’s why when I got the T1 that was failing to dry, I assumed the same problem. I’d love to know if the reason the T1 fails to dry as well, is the cheapening of the system.

That was an interesting video.

Now, I'm not quite sure if running the dryer without the side panel is an accurate way to measure the temp inside the drum. Even running my old Siemens condenser without the water tank would result in (very slightly) lower temp due to the increased cooling air flow - and that dryer had like four times the heating power of the heat pump.

Also, and this could be a auto translation error, but he said that BSH dryers never reversed, don't do it right now and probably never will. None of this is true.

In the end, I'd suggest you go to Amazon and get yourself some thermometers. Mine cost next to nothing and are similar to this
