Original main filter for filtering lint in a Miele tumble dryer Miele 9841150

📌 Product Capsule The original Miele 9841150 main filter (Hauptsieb BG) is the central filter element in T1 series tumble dryers, located in the door opening and filters all the fluff created during the drying process. The original part includes a plastic frame with a filter mesh, can be removed for cleaning after each cycle, and allows optimal drying performance to be maintained for years. This part number has been replaced by the current version 10762350, both compatible with Miele T1 series.

In the experience of our technicians, 8 out of 10 service calls for poor drying on Miele T1 dryers turn out to be a clogged main lint filter – not a motor fault, not a control board. This part is your appliance’s first line of defense.

Why does the lint filter break down – and what are the signs?

A damaged lint filter – whether torn, bent, or completely clogged – allows lint residue to seep into the appliance and build up around the heating element. This isn’t just a drying problem, it’s also a real fire hazard. Signs that should set off a red light include: drying that takes twice as long as usual, a “clean filter” message that appears even after cleaning, a slight burning smell while drying, and higher-than-normal heat being emitted from the appliance.

Why only an original part? The Miele filter mesh is made of heat-resistant material and does not warp. Non-original parts tested in the field showed significant warping after just 10-15 drying cycles – then the mesh unravels and fluff passes directly into the appliance.

Where is the model sticker on a Miele dryer? On the inside of the door, on the edge of the opening. There you will find the E-Nr number, which can be used to confirm compatibility.

💡 Tip from the experts

Cleaning the filter in three layers: In our technicians’ experience, many users only brush the visible surface of the screen – but forget that lint also “packs up” in the sides and corners. The right way: Dry brush both sides of the screen, then gently press the screen from side to side with your fingers to release deeply trapped lint. Our technicians who perform service visits find that in about 40% of cases where the customer has “cleaned the filter” – it is still partially blocked. An extra 30 seconds of action saves a service call.
