Faults and what to do about them en

Note: If you cannot rectify the fault yourself by turning the dryer off and then on
again, please contact our after-sales service.
Laundry is not dried prop-
erly or is still too damp.
■ After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it actu-
ally 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 ~ Page 22.
■ Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the dryness level.
This does not increase the temperature.
■ Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still
damp ~ Page 20.
■ If you have exceeded the maximum permitted load for the programme,
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
~ Page 28.
■ Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because
the condensate container is full or because the maximum permitted drying
time has been exceeded.
Note: See also the laundry tips ~ Page 19.
Drying time too long? ■ The fluff filter or the EasyClean filter may be dirty, which will make
the drying time longer. Clean the fluff filter or the EasyClean filter.
■ 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 optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30 °C.
Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.
■ Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-
late the room.
