The drying
process goes
on too long or
even switches
off.
In some circumstances the following message also appears:
Clean fluff filters
Please check all the possible causes and switch the dryer
off and then back on 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 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.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun at the washing
machine's maximum 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.
–
Close zips and fasten any
hooks next time.
If the problem occurs again, dry
garments with long zips using the
Warm air programme (timed
drying).
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.
The vents below the door
are blocked.
Remove any objects that are
blocking the vents.
The laundry is
not sufficiently
dry.
The load consisted of
different fabrics.
–
Finish drying using the
Warm
air
programme.
–
Select the
Automatic
the next
time.
