Problem
Drying is
taking too long,
or the
programme
has been
cancelled
* Before attempting to remedy the problem:
– Open and close the door.
– Switch the dryer off and then on again to start a programme.
Possible cause
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
filters.
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.
The vents below the door are
blocked.
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block the
condenser unit.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.
Metallic components, e.g. zips
have prevented the dryer from
registering the correct
moisture level in the laundry.
Problem solving guide
Remedy
– Remove any fluff, hair or
residual detergents.
– Rinse the filters if necessary
and then dry them
thoroughly before replacing
them.
If not thoroughly dry faults
will occur.
– If the above measures do
not remedy the problem
follow the advice below.
– Open a door or window
while the tumble dryer is in
operation for increased air
flow.
– Remove any objects that
are blocking the vents.
– Check the condenser unit
from time to time and clean
it if necessary (see
"Cleaning and Care").
– Make sure that your laundry
is thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed.
– Do not exceed the
maximum load for the
programme selected.
– Open zips next time.
– If the problem occurs again,
dry garments with long zips
using "Warm air" (timed
drying).
