Possible fault Solution
The dryer does not work
at its optimum or not
efficiently. The lint filter
might be clogged with
lint or detergent
residues.

described under "The program runs too long or
stops".
–
Open and close the door to turn off the indicator.
The exhaust duct may
be too long. This is not a
fault.
With a long exhaust duct, program times and energy
consumption increase. See Installation Instructions.
The ducting is clogged
or kinked.
Check that the ducting is not blocked.
A program is canceled.
The "Check Filter/Vent" indicator flashes.
The fault cannot be
detected immediately.
– Check the possible faults as described above.
– Open and close the door to turn off the indicator.

If the problem persists contact Technical Service.
The dryer is making a thumping or grinding sound.
The sound is caused by
the high airflow rate in
the ducting of the dryer.
This is not a fault.
–
To determine if the noise is due to airflow,
temporarily remove the exhaust duct from the
appliance. If the noise lessens, the ductwork is the
cause of the noise. Rigid or flexible aluminum
ducting is the best option for reducing the noise.
If the problem persists please contact Technical
Service.
