The drying
process goes on
too long or even
switches off.
In some
circumstances,
the Clean out
airways indicator
light still comes
on, even though
the filter is clean.
Please check all the possible causes and switch the
dryer off and then back on again.
Ventilation to the dryer is
insufficient (e.g. because it is
installed in a room which is
too small).
Open a door or window while
the dryer is in operation for
increased air flow.
The fluff filter is blocked. Remove any fluff.
The vent ducting or the
ventilation outlet is blocked.
–
Check all parts of the vent
ducting system on a
regular basis (e.g. wall
pipe, external grille, bends
in the ducting etc.) and
make sure they are all free
of any hindrance.
– Remove any fluff.
The laundry has not been
spun sufficiently.
Make sure that your laundry
is thoroughly spun at the
appropriate spin speed.
The tumble dryer has been
overloaded.
Do not exceed the maximum
load for the programme
selected.
Metallic components, e.g.
zips, have prevented the
dryer from registering the
correct moisture level in the
laundry.
–
Open zips next time.
If the problem occurs again,
dry garments with long zips
using the Warm air
programme (timed drying).
The laundry is not
sufficiently dry.
The load consisted of
different fabrics.
–
Finish drying using the
Warm air programme.
–
Select a different
programme next time.
