Laundry is not dried correctly or is still 
too damp.

After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it 
actually is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but 
does not increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the 
drying level. This does not increase the temperature.
Select a time programme for extended drying of laundry that is still 
damp.
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the 
laundry may not be dried correctly.
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. A fine layer of limescale 
may adversely affect the performance of the sensors and your 
washing will not dry properly.
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the 
condensate container is full or because the maximum drying time
