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 filters are
clean.
Please check all the possible causes and switch the dryer
off and then back on again.
Ventilation to and from the dryer
may be insufficient (e.g.
because it is installed in a small
room). This has caused the
temperature in the room to rise
sharply.
Open a door or window while
the machine is in operation
for increased air flow.
The fluff filters are clogged up
with fluff or were still wet when
they were replaced.
–
Remove any fluff.
–
The fluff filters must be
completely dry.
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).
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block up the
condenser unit.
Check the condenser unit
from time to time and clean it
if necessary.
The vents below the door are
blocked.
Remove any objects that are
blocking the vents.
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.
