Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?

Repairing your Miele dryer is often the best option if it’s less than 10 years old and experiencing common part failures. Typically, addressing issues like faulty sensors or heating elements may restore the appliance at a lower cost.

However, replacement becomes a more sensible choice if your dryer is older, has undergone multiple repairs, or if parts are discontinued. Consider these factors:

• Age over 10 years
• Repeated failures
• Parts discontinued
• Planned remodel or upgrade
