Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

Water leaks from the
dryer after the
condenser unit has
been cleaned.

– The inner cover of the

condenser unit has not
been locked properly
and/or the condenser
unit has not been
positioned correctly.

– Fluff has collected in

the condenser unit
housing.

– Ensure that the

condenser unit is
positioned correctly
and lock the inner
cover.

– Check the rubber

seals.

– Use a cloth to remove

any visible fluff from the
inside of the condenser
unit housing.

Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.

Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.

Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
programme or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load when drying.

There is a build-up of
fluff.

Fluff is principally the
result of friction when
garments are being worn
and washed. Machine
drying does not affect the
lifetime of fabric.

Fluff is collected by the
fluff filters and can be
easily removed (see
"Cleaning and Care").
