      If your AEG Dryer cycle ends shortly after the programme starts and the END display is illuminated, it could be due to insufficient washing loaded or the washing being too dry for the selected programme. Try selecting a time programme or a higher drying level, such as INTENSIVE DRY instead of STORAGE DRY.
