Cause/Remedy
Drying programme not selected? Overview of programmes ~ Page 20
■
Door not closed properly?
■
Pump is blocked? Clean the drain pump~ Page 29
■
Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30°C) or inadequate ventila-
■
tion in the room in which the washer dryer is situated. Ensure adequate ven-
tilation to allow surplus heat to escape.
The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying - always set the
■
highest selectable spin speed for all washing programmes.
Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maximum
■
load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload the
washer dryer, as the maximum load for drying is lower than for washing,
unload the washer dryer after washing with the maximum load for washing
and separate the load into two drying cycles.
The power supply line voltage is too low (below 200 V). Ensure a suitable
■
power supply.
Air inlet filter blocked? ~ Page 30
■
Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the sur-
■
face, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer. For these
types of textiles, select the timed drying programmes.
The drying time is reduced for a smaller load. Some residual moisture may
■
remain in the dryer system. If the door is opened quickly, a suction effect is
generated which causes the moisture to drip out of the dryer system.
Open the door slowly. Avoid wrenching the door open.
