Other problems

Problem
The drying
process goes on
too long or even
switches off.
36
Possible cause
You might be asked to
clean the ducting
system/filters again.
The fluff filter is blocked.
The filter housing is
blocked with e.g. fluff and
hair.
The vent ducting or the
ventilation outlet is
blocked with e.g. fluff or
hair.
Ventilation to the dryer is
insufficient (e.g. because
it is installed in a room
which is too small).
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.
Remedy
Please check all possible
causes described below.
– Remove any fluff.
– Clean the filter housing.
– The grilles in the drum
aperture can be removed to
facilitate the cleaning of the
filter housing below.
– Check all parts of the vent
ducting system on a regular
basis (e.g. wall pipe, external
grille, bends in the ducting
etc.) and clean them if
necessary.
Open a door or window while
the dryer is in operation for
increased air flow.
Make sure that your laundry is
thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed in the
washing machine.
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).
