Cause and remedy
The room where the tumble dryer is located is too
warm.
 Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fil-
ters.
 Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter (see
"Cleaning and care", sections "Cleaning the fluff
filters" and "Cleaning the plinth filter").
 Remove any visible fluff from the heat exchanger
(see "Cleaning and care", "Cleaning the plinth fil-
ter").
The laundry is unevenly distributed or has rolled up.
The drum is too full.
 Disentangle the laundry and remove a few items.
 Start a programme.
The 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 re-
placed.
 The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be dry.
The laundry is too damp.
 Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma-
chine.
Metallic components, e.g. zips, have prevented the
tumble dryer from registering the correct laundry
moisture level.
 Open any zips next time.
 If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.
