miele cond dryer T8822c “clean out airways” after 20 mins

[keithwilliams]

good evening,

called to attend to this warning light.

dis the following
1. condenser clear
2.filters all clear.
3. fan impellor de-fluffed to push air better.
4. cleaned out water pump housing
5. put in damp towels and it runs perfectly for 20 minutes heating drying pumping water. then all of a sudden it stops with clean out airways light lit.

6. press start and away she goes for another 20 minutes and same again.

please any ideas.

thanks
keith

Worked on an t8442c recently, dif fault. But might be worthchecking the thread (week or two old) as i posted the thermal sensor reading charts. Temp/kOhms.

Possibly one of these reading too hot, thus machine thinks its airways are blocked?

There are some links to various manulas of similar machines tbere too.

If the condenser I’d fully clear, the front duct filter s can be clogged and need hot wate4 and a nylon brush,of sorts.
That’s where I would be looking at.

Thanks for that.
I have thoroughly cleaned everything. Including fan impeller blades.
I haven’t been back yet.
My next move is to reprogram the drying cycle to be more tolerant.
Also I’ll tske readings on sensors as suggested although I don’t think they are faulty as it will happily run another 20 mins immediately after it initially stops.
I will report back if I get it running longer.
