What do you mean by plinth setting to set to high? We just got our new T1

There is a sensitivity setting for when the plinth filter (the black sponge looking filter behind the door on the bottem left of the dryer) needs to be cleaned.

As fine lint builds up on the filter less air moves past the filter per minute. The dryer has logic that determines when the filter is getting loaded. When the set point is reached the display on the dryer will show ”Clean Plinth Filter”

There is a ”sensitivity” setting that can be adjusted that allows the customer to determine how quickly this is displayed. If it is going off more than tou would like it is possible to change the setting to reduce the frequency. The downside is that drying cycles may take a little longer.

How quickly this occurs really depends on the type of textiles you dry and what they are made of. Lots of fine lint being shed will clog the filter more quickly.

In our house we usually get 15-20 cycles before needing to clean the filter. We primarily dry woven cotton and some poly type shirts. Few, if any, loose weave or knot items. Our towels are all loop terry cloth with no cut ends.

Thanks Luna! We're two days into our W1/T1 set. We still have a W1986/T1576 set in another home as well as several other Miele appliances in both. We're not new to the brand but are new to a heat pump dryer The washer is phenomenal!

Which dryer cycles are you using?

I read through the long thread to grasp any and all tips. I'm finding Bed Linens best for general purpose drying cottons in a manner we're used to. What I'm not used to is how long it takes only to still to come out "damp". I hope our already high power bill doesn't increase!

Heat pump dryer will use half or less e emergy per cycle vs an elecric dryer.

We use normal cycle 90% of the time set to normal plus. The damp feeling is probably not really damp just a little residual humidity. if you take the clothes out and they are ”dry” in under a minute then what you feel is just residual humidity and not actual damp clothes. It takes a little getting used to.

We use bed linens for most sheets ans large items that might twist or bunch. As you found out the dryer reverse tumbles in these cycles keeping the items from bunching up.

We have all down/feather pillows so we also use the pillow cycle. Outside of those the rest of the cycles are rarely used. That is just us. Your use case may be different based on what type of things you wash and dry.
