Remedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.
Important
: Before attempting to remedy one of the
following causes, switch the dryer off and switch on again
to start the programme again.
Ventilation to and from the
dryer may be insufficient
(e.g. because it is installed
in a small room). This has
caused the temperature in
the room to rise sharply.
Open a door or window
while the machine is in
operation for increased air
flow.
The vents below the door
are blocked.
– Remove any objects that
are blocking the vents.
The fluff filters are clogged
up with fluff or were still wet
when they were replaced.
– Remove any fluff.
– The fluff filters must be
completely dry.
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block up the
condenser unit.
Check the condenser unit
from time to time and clean
it if necessary (see
"Cleaning and care").
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
Make sure that your laundry
is thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed.
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 "Warm air" (timed
drying).
