Cause/remedy
Empty the condensate container and press the Start button ~ Page 28 .
■
If the optional condensation drain is installed, the drain hose may be
■
blocked. Check the hose for deposits and flush the hose out.
Not a fault. The heat exchanger is cleaned automatically. Do not pull out the
condensate container while this is displayed.
Mains plug plugged in or fuse checked?
■
Programme selected? Select a programme.
■
Dryer door open? Close the door.
■
Childproof lock activated? Deactivate the childproof lock.
■
"Finish in" time selected? Programme starts after a delay ~ Page 25.
■
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 ~ Page 23.
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 will become drier ~ Page 25.
Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level.
■
This does not increase the temperature.
Select a timed programme for subsequent drying of laundry that is still
■
damp ~ Page 23.
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 32.
Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the conden-
■
sate container is full or because the maximum drying time has been
exceeded.
