Problem
The drying process
goes on too long or
even switches off
36
Cause and remedy
The temperature in the room may have risen sharply.
 Air the room to make sure that the temperature is
not too high.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the
fluff filters and the fine filters
The cooling ribs can be clogged up.
 Clean the fluff filters and the fine filters.
 Remove any visible fluff behind the panel in the
heat exchanger cavity (see "Cleaning and care").
The cool air intake (bottom right grille) is blocked.
 Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the grille.
The fluff filters and the fine filter were still wet when
they were replaced.
 The fluff filters and fine filter must be dry.
The laundry has not been spun sufficiently.
 Make sure that your laundry is thoroughly spun at
the appropriate spin speed in the washing ma‐
chine.
The tumble dryer has been overloaded
 Do not exceed the maximum load for the pro‐
gramme selected.
Metallic components, e.g. zips have prevented the
dryer from registering the correct moisture level.
 Open the zips next time.
 If the problem occurs again, dry garments with
long zips using the Warm air timed drying pro‐
gramme.
* Before starting another programme:
 Switch the dryer off and then on again.
