The drying cycle duration is very long
Problem
Cause and remedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off*.
The room where the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fil-
ters.
Clean the fluff filters and the filter in the plinth. See
“Cleaning and care” for an in-depth description.
If you have removed the plinth filter, also check the
filter insert behind it. Clean it if necessary.
If you have removed the filter insert, also check the
heat exchanger behind it. Clean it if necessary.
The cooling fins behind the bottom right grille are
soiled.
Clean as described in “Bottom right grille/airways”
under “Cleaning and care”.
The fluff filters and the filter in the plinth were still wet
when they were replaced.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be dry.
The laundry is too damp.
Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.
The drum is too full.
Do not exceed the maximum load for the pro-
gramme selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zippers, have prevented
the tumble dryer from registering the correct moisture
level.
Open any zips next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Timed drying warm air
programme.
* Switch the tumble dryer off; wait a short while before starting a new programme.
