Faults

Cause/Remedy

Appliance does not start.

Check the mains plug and the fuses.

Creasing.

Load exceeded or incorrect programme selected for a type of fabric. 

All the required information can be found in the programme 

table.

~

 Page 22

Remove laundry from the drum as soon as the drying programme 

has finished. Creasing occurs when clothing is left in the drum.

Water is leaking out.

The appliance may be positioned at an angle. Level the appliance.

In the base unit, make sure that:

– The heat exchanger cover is properly locked.

– There is no dirt or debris on the heat exchanger cover's seal.

If the optional drain hose* is installed, make sure that the drain hose 

is correctly connected.

The appliance is paused but the 

drum is turning.

The appliance has detected a high temperature and has started the 

CoolDown process. Temperature regulation can take up to 10 minutes. 

You can cancel the CoolDown process at any time by opening the door.

The programme does not start Make sure that:

The door is closed

The 

E

 3 sec. (Child lock) has been deactivated

You have pressed  Start/Reload

Note:  

If the programme has been delayed by setting  Finished in, the pro-

gramme starts at a later point.

Programme duration displayed 

changes as drying progresses.

Not a fault. The moisture sensor measures the residual moisture in the 

laundry and adjusts the programme duration (with the exception of timed 

programmes).

Laundry is not dried properly or 

is still too damp.

After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it 

actually is. Spread out the laundry and let it cool down.

Adjust the drying time or increase the degree of dryness. This will 

extend the drying time but the temperature will remain the same.

Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is 

still damp.

Select a timed programme for a small load.

Do not exceed the maximum load for a programme.

 Page 22

Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become cov-

ered in a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product resi-

due, which then impairs its performance.

~

 Page 38

Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the 

condensation container is full or because the maximum drying time 

has been exceeded.
