Problem Cause and remedy
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off*
The room in which the dryer is located is too warm.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fluff
filters and the fine filters
Clean the fluff filters and the filter in the plinth.
Remove any visible fluff behind the panel in the
heat exchanger housing (see "Cleaning and care").
The cooling fins behind the bottom right grille are
dirty.
Clean as described in "Cleaning and care - Bottom
right grille/airways"
The fluff filters and the filter in the plinth were still wet
when they were replaced.
The fluff filters and filter in the plinth must be dry.
The laundry is too damp.
Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun at
the appropriate spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.
The tumble dryer has been overloaded
Do not exceed the maximum load for the pro-
gramme selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zips have prevented the
dryer from registering the correct moisture level.
Open the zips next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.
* Before starting another programme:
Switch the dryer off and then on again.
There are humming
noises.
The compressor is operating.
These noises are quite normal and do not indicate a
fault.
