Problem Possible cause Remedy *
The drying
process goes
on too long or
even switches
off.
Ventilation to and from the
dryer may be insufficient
(e.g. because it is installed
in a small room). This has
caused the temperature in
the room to rise sharply.
–
Open a door or window while
the machine is in operation for
increased air flow.
–
Detergent residue, hair
and fine fluff may have
blocked the fluff filters
and fine filters.
– The cooling fins may be
blocked.
–
Clean the fluff filters and fine
filters.
–
Remove any fluff:
. . . from the heat exchanger
unit at the bottom left (see
"Cleaning and care").
. . . from the cooling fins behind
the grille at the bottom right.
The cool air intake panel at
the front of the dryer is
covered.
– Remove the laundry basket or
other objects.
The fluff filters and the fine
filters were still wet when
they were replaced.
– The fluff filters and fine filters
must be dry before replacing
them.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
–
Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed in the
washing machine.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.
–
Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programme
selected.
Metallic components, e.g.
zippers have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level.
–
Open the zippers next time.
–
If the problem occurs again,
dry garments with long zippers
using the Warm air programme
(timed drying).
* Before starting a programme, switch the dryer off and then on again.
