My Miele dryer keeps stopping in the middle of a cycle and prompting me to clean out the airways. I've done this or at least I think I've done so. What is the problem?

Electric.
oveheating
vents clogged, end to end;
screen vent clogged
lint inside dryer needs to be cleaned out (all of it)
the dryers have safety overheat sensor that trip if too hot, on purpose. even 2 or more in a dryer. for SAFETY no fires.
here is the manual free and see all words there on cleaning lint.
it is non trivial this job, see words exchanger clean.
If the dryer has dryness sensor strips they may have a coating on them repelling moisture from wet clothes. The brains might think them clothes is dry. Clean the sensors with windex and party on. MIELE NOTES FROM FOGGY
Check that the exhaust air outlet hose (if fitted) is not obstructed or crushed. If not fitted, check that the exhaust air outlet is not blocked nor too close to anything which may impede the flow of exhaust air. Also check that the air inlets are not blocked.
Basically your machine "thinks" that it has an airflow obstruction, and usually that's caused by the filters. If that's not the case then you'll have to call in a repair technician to correctly diagnose the fault. The cause is then likely to be a simple failure of a switch or sensor and a relatively cheap and fast repair, especially if your machine is under warranty.
Remove all 3 filters, half moon filters below door, filter in door and heat exchanger from front of appliance and rinse under warm water dry and refit.
You should open the service panel and to find out where does the "beeping" unit located and to remove one of the wires connected to it (the unplugged wire should be insulated).
Good luck!
