The drying process takes a long time.
Problem
Possible cause and remedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off.*
The room in which the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the
filters.
Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter (see
“Cleaning and care - Fluff filters and Cleaning the
plinth filter”).
Remove any visible fluff from the heat exchanger
(see “Cleaning and care - Cleaning the plinth
filter”).
The laundry is unevenly distributed or has rolled up.
The tumble dryer has been overloaded.
Untangle the laundry and remove a few items, if
necessary.
Start a programme.
The cool air intake (bottom right grille) is blocked.
Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter were wet when
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
machine.
Metallic components, e.g. zippers, have prevented
the dryer from registering the correct moisture level.
Open the zippers next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air
timed drying programme.
* Switch the tumble dryer off and on again before starting a new programme.
