Cause/remedy
After the programme has ended, warm laundry feels damper than it actu-
■
ally is.Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.
Fine tune the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not
■
increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier ~ Page 26.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the dryness
■
level.This does not increase the temperature.
Select a timed programme to add extra drying time for laundry that is still
■
damp ~ Page 25.
If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry
■
may not be dried properly.
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered in
■
a fine layer of limescale or detergent and care product residue, which then
impairs its performance. This prevents your laundry from being dried prop-
erly ~ Page 41.
Drying has stopped as a result of a power cut, because the condensation
■
container is full or because the maximum drying time has been exceeded.
See also the laundry tips ~ Page 24.
Note:
The fluff filter may be clogged, which will make the drying time
■
longer.Clean the fluff filter.
If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may
■
increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.
The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30
■
°C.Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.
Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-
■
late the room.
Not a fault. Energy-saving mode is active ~ Page 12.
Not a fault. If the condensation drain is installed, residual water remains in the
condensation container due to the dryer's self-cleaning function.
Not a fault. Make sure the room is adequately ventilated.
The drying programme is stopped. Remove the laundry and spread it out or
restart the programme.
Not a fault. Noises are produced by the automatic cleaning of the heat
exchanger ~ Page 40.
Not a fault. The dryer can dry effectively at low temperatures using a heat pump.
