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 in the
washing machine.
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).
