No you dont have to remove tub! You do need to remove the solonoid valve though and its not a nice job. cut fingers a plenty and cleaning it is something else again, also the fan blades will be clogged as well. Believe me, it can be done. Its not often I complain at a Miele machine but their washer drier is just as bad, or even worse than anyone elses.

ParticipantRe: meile w/d remove condenser
I now have a new problem. Can you help?
Ill start at the begining
Originally Fluff stopped the fan and I made an access hole through the plastic manifold at the top and shifted fluff and freed the fan.
But now on minium iron, drying overload light flashes at end before the clothes are completely dry, and I have had wash light flashing and spinning when on drying programme.
Thanks for your advice, I removed the condenser, the fear of doing it was worse than actually doing it, bent rear shell lip back and removed the valves.
But there was no blockage and I still have drying overload light flashing.
Have you got any suggestions?

this is a bit worrying, have you made sure the WHOLE condenser is clear? ie condenser unit + fan assy + heater box ? There is only one way to clear condenser assy and thats to remove it and flush it out !

I took the condenser unit off and cleaned it but I couldnt get the top of the heater manifold off, it was glued too well.
I took the machine back afew days ago and have recieved no complaints as of yet, maybe they only use it on cotton dry.
The trouble with Miele machines, they take too long to repair and I have a fixed labour charge. On other machines a long job, you just earn more on the parts but I have difficulty getting a discount on Miele parts and they are too expensive to put too much on top.
