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 filter in the plinth. See
"Cleaning and care" for an in-depth description.
 If you have removed the plinth filter, also check the
filter insert behind it. Clean it if necessary.
 If you have removed the filter insert, also check the
heat exchanger behind it. Clean it if necessary.
The cooling fins behind the bottom right grille are
soiled.
 Clean as described in "Cleaning and care - Bottom
right grille/heat exchanger".
The laundry is too damp.
 Spin the laundry 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 any zips next time.
 If the problem occurs again, dry these items using
the Timed drying warm air programme.
