Remedy
The drying
process goes on
too long or even
switches off.
You might be asked to
clean the ducting
system/filters again.
Please check all possible
causes, described below.
The fluff filter is blocked.
– Remove any fluff.
The filter housing is
blocked with e.g. fluff and
hair.
– Clean the filter housing.
– The grilles in the drum
aperture can be removed to
facilitate the cleaning of the
filter housing below.
The vent ducting or the
ventilation outlet is
blocked with e.g. fluff or
hair.
– Check all parts of the vent
ducting system on a regular
basis (e.g. wall pipe, external
grille, bends in the ducting
etc.) and clean them if
necessary.
Ventilation to the dryer is
insufficient (e.g because it
is installed in a room
which is too small).
Open a door or window while
the dryer is in operation for
increased air flow.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed in the
washing machine.
The tumble dryer has
been overloaded.
Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programme
selected.
Metallic components, e.g.
zips, have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level in
the laundry.
– Open zips next time.
If the problem occurs again,
dry garments with long zips
using the
Warm air
programme
(timed drying).
