Problem Possible cause Remedy
Drying is
taking too
long,
or the
programme
has been
cancelled
The dryer is not working
efficiently or economically*.
The most likely cause is a
build-up of fluff, hair or
detergent residue on the fluff
filter.
–
Remove any fluff, hair or
residual detergents.
–
Rinse the fluff filter if
necessary and dry it
thoroughly before replacing
it.
–
If the above measures do not
remedy the problem follow
the advice below.
Ventilation to the dryer is
insufficient, e.g. because it is
installed in a room which is too
small.
–
Open a door or window while
the tumble dryer is in
operation for increased air
flow.
The vent ducting or the
ventilation outlet is blocked.
– Check all parts of the vent
ducting system on a regular
basis (e.g. wall pipe, external
grille, bends in the ducting
etc.) and make sure they are
all free of any hindrance.
– Remove any fluff, hair or
residual detergents.
The laundry has not been spun
sufficiently.
– Make sure that your laundry
is thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.
–
Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programme
selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zips,
have prevented the dryer from
registering the correct moisture
level in the laundry.
–
Open zips next time.
–
If the problem occurs again,
dry garments with long zips
using "Warm air" (timed
drying).
* Before attempting to remedy the problem:
–
Open and close the door.
–
Switch the dryer off and then on again to start a programme.
