What Rinse the lint filter and plinth filter
actually means.
A heat-pump tumbler depends on air moving freely through its lint filters, plinth filter and heat exchanger. When that airflow drops, the program stops and this message appears. Miele also notes a small item sucked into the loading area can block the laundry deflector holes.

What to do when Rinse the lint filter and plinth filter shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeMotors and drives
Something that should turn is not turning, or not at the speed the controller expects. A washer-extractor's drive or its inverter may stop the spin when the load is out of balance or a bearing drags, a tumbler's belt may slip so the drum barely moves, a convection or combi fan may slow on worn bearings and bake unevenly, and a dish machine's wash pump may hum without spraying. Redistributing a load, confirming the door is latched and running the machine's own test cycle are fair; a drum, a belt or a motor is a visit, and nobody reaches into a drum that could still move.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Miele Professional's own guidance for Rinse the lint filter and plinth filter on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Touch OK to clear the message, open the door and remove any small item blocking the holes in the loading area.
Clean all lint filters and the plinth filter as shown under Cleaning and care; squeeze it out well, because a filter put back dripping wet can bring the message back.
If the message returns even with clean filters, fit a new plinth filter as Miele suggests, and book a visit if that does not clear it.
