Cause/remedy
Empty the condensate container; ~ Page 28 and the dryer; ~ Page 14.
If the optional condensation drain is installed, the drain hose may be
blocked. Check the hose for deposits and flush the hose out.
Clean the fluff filter and/or the heat exchanger, then select the Start button
~ Page 27; ~ Page 30.
Mains plug plugged in or fuse checked?
Programme selected? Select a programme.
Dryer door open? Close the door.
Is the childproof lock activated? Deactivate the child-proof lock.
"Ready in" time selected? Programme starts after a delay.
Not a fault. Energy-saving mode is active ~ Page 12.
Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected
the wrong programme for the type of fabric. All the required information
can be found in the programme table.
Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing may occur if they are
left in the drum.
Not a fault; the dryer may be positioned on an incline. Level the dryer.
Not a fault. The moisture sensors detect the remaining moisture in the load and
adjust the programme length (except timed programmes).
After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually
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 becomes drier ~ Page 24.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level.
This does not increase the temperature.
Select a time programme for subsequent drying of laundry that is still damp
~ Page 22.
If you have exceeded the maximum 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 drying time has
been exceeded.
Note:
See also the laundry tips ~ Page 21.
