Faults and what to do about them
42
Laundry is not dried cor-
rectly or is still too damp.
■
After the end of the program, 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 program with a longer drying time or increase the drying level. This
does not increase the temperature.
■
Select a timed program for subsequent drying of laundry that is still damp
.
■
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the program, the laundry may
not be dried properly.
■
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered by
a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products which
then impair its function. Your laundry is not being dried correctly
.
■
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the conden-
sate container is full or because the maximum drying time has been
exceeded.

Drying time too long?
■
The fluff filter may be dirty and cause a longer drying time. Clean the fluff fil-
ter.
■
The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30 °C.
Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.
■
If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
■
The heat exchanger may be dirty and cause a longer drying time. Clean the
heat exchanger.
■
Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-
late the room.
Displayed drying time
changes during drying
process.
Not a fault. The dryer recognizes the load and adapts the remaining program
duration.
Display panel goes off
and Start button flashes.
Not a fault. Energy saving mode is active
Residual water in the
condensation container
despite the dryer being
connected to the con-
densation drain*.
Not a fault. If the condensation drain is installed, residual water remains in the
condensation container due to the dryer's self-cleaning function.
Humidity in the room
increases.
Not a fault. Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.
Power cut.
The drying program is interrupted. Remove the laundry and spread it out, or
restart the program.
