dry.
30
Possible cause
In some circumstances the following message also appears:
Clean the airways .
Please check all the possible causes and open and shut the
dryer door.
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.
The fluff filters are clogged up
with fluff or were still wet
when they were replaced.
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block the heat
exchanger.
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.
The load consisted of
different fabrics.
Remedy
Open a door or window while the
machine is in operation for
increased air flow.
– Remove any objects that are
blocking the vents.
– Remove any fluff.
– The fluff filters must be
completely dry.
Check the heat exchanger from
time to time and clean it if
necessary.
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
the Warm air programme (timed
drying).
– Finish drying using the Warm
air programme (timed drying).
– Select a different programme
next time, see Programme
chart.
