The drying cycle duration is very long
Problem
The drying process goes
on too long or even
switches off*.
* Switch the tumble dryer off; wait a short while before starting a new programme.
Cause and remedy
The room where the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fil-
ters.
Clean the fluff filters and the filter in the plinth. See
"Cleaning and care" for an in-depth description.
If you have removed the plinth filter, also check the
filter insert behind it. Clean it if necessary.
If you have removed the filter insert, also check the
heat exchanger behind it. Clean it if necessary.
The cooling fins behind the bottom right grille are
soiled.
Clean as described in "Bottom right grille/airways"
under "Cleaning and care".
The laundry is too damp.
Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.
The drum is too full.
Do not exceed the maximum load size for the dry-
ing programme selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the
tumble dryer from registering the correct laundry
moisture level.
Open any zips next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Timed drying warm air programme.
