Problem
Possible cause
Remedy
The drying
process goes
on too long
or even
switches off.
The dryer is not working
efficiently or economically*.
The fluff filters may be
clogged with fluff, hair or
detergent residues.
– Remove any fluff.
– Do not replace fluff filters if
they are damp or wet.
Damp or wet filters could
cause operational faults.
– If this cleaning is not
satisfactory, check the
following points.
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
covered.
– Remove any obstructions.
Detergent residue, hair and
fine fluff can block the
condenser unit.
– The condenser unit should
be checked and cleaned
from time to time (See
"Cleaning and care").
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
– Make sure that your laundry
is thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed in
the washing machine.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.
– Do not exceed the
maximum load for the
programme selected.
Metallic components, e.g.
zippers have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level.
– Open the zippers next time.
– If the problem occurs again,
dry garments with long
zippers using the Warm air
programme (timed drying).
* Before remedying a problem:
– Open and close the door.
– Switch the tumble dryer on and off.
