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 room which is too small.
This can cause the
temperature in the room to
rise sharply.
Open a door or window
while the dryer is in
operation for increased air
flow.
The vents below the door are
blocked.
– Remove any objects
that are blocking the
vents.
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.
Detergent residues, hair and
fine fibres can block the
condenser unit.
Check the condenser unit
from time to time and
clean it if necessary.
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).
