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.
Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not
■
increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier ~ Page 24.
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 22.
If you have exceeded the maximum permitted load for the programme,
■
the laundry may not be dried properly.
Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered by
■
a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products which
then impair its function. Your laundry is not being dried correctly
~ Page 31.
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because
■
the condensate container is full or because the maximum permitted drying
time has been exceeded.
Note: See also the laundry tips ~ Page 21.
The fluff filter or the EasyClean filter may be dirty, which will make
■
the drying time longer. Clean the fluff filter or the EasyClean 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. Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.
The drying programme is interrupted. Remove the laundry and spread it out,
or restart the programme.
Not a fault; see also ~ Page 30.
