Problem
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off*
There are humming
noises
Possible cause and remedy
The room in which the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the
filters.
Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter.
Remove any visible fluff behind the panel in the
heat exchanger cavity (see "Cleaning and care -
Plinth filter").
The cool air intake (bottom right grille) is blocked.
Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter were wet when
replaced.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be dry.
The laundry is too damp.
Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing
machine.
The tumble dryer has been overloaded.
Do not exceed the maximum load for the
programme selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zippers, have prevented
the dryer from registering the correct moisture level.
Open the zippers next time.
If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.
* Before starting another programme:
Switch the dryer off and then on again.
The compressor is operating.
These noises are quite normal and do not indicate a
fault.
