Problem
Water leaks from the

Possible cause
– The inner cover of the
condenser unit has not
been locked properly
and/or the condenser
unit has not been
positioned correctly.
– Fluff has collected in
the condenser unit
housing.
Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.
Fluff is principally the
result of friction when
garments are being worn
and washed. Machine
drying hardly causes any
fluff to form and has been
established by research
institutes to have no
appreciable effect on the
lifetime of fabric.
Feathers are a natural
product and this is quite
normal.
Remedy
– Ensure that the
condenser unit is
positioned correctly
and lock the inner
cover.
– Check the rubber
seals.
– Use a cloth to remove
any visible fluff from the
inside of the condenser
unit housing.
Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
programme or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load when drying.
Fluff is collected by the
fluff filters and can be
easily removed (see
"Cleaning and Care").
The smell will dissipate
after sufficient airing.
