Faults and what to do about them       

en

39

Note:  

If you cannot rectify the fault yourself by turning the dryer off and on, please 

contact our after-sales service.

Laundry is not dried cor-

rectly or is still too damp.

After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actually 

is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse.

Finely adjust the dryness level – this extends the drying time but does not 

increase the temperature. Your laundry will become drier 

~

 Page 27

.

Select a programme with a longer drying time or increase the drying level. 

This does not increase the temperature.

Select a timed programme for subsequent drying of laundry that is still 

damp 

~

 Page 26

.

If you have exceeded the maximum load for the programme, the laundry 

may not be dried properly.

Clean the moisture sensor in the drum. The sensor may become covered by 

a fine layer of limescale or residues of detergents and care products which 

then impair its function. Your laundry is not being dried correctly 

~

 Page 36

.

Drying has been interrupted as a result of a power cut, because the conden-

sate container is full or because the maximum drying time has been 

exceeded.

Note:

.

Drying time too long?

The fluff filter may be dirty and cause a longer drying time. Clean the fluff fil-

ter.

If the air inlet on the dryer is blocked or not freely accessible, this may 

increase the drying time. Make sure that the air inlet remains unobstructed.

The optimum ambient temperature for drying is between 15 °C and 30 °C. 

Outside of this range, the drying time may increase.

Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti-

late the room.

Display panel goes off 

and Start button flashes.

Not a fault. Energy saving mode is active 

~

.

Residual water in 

the condensate con-

tainer despite the dryer 

being connected to 

the condensation drain*.

Not a fault. If the condensation drain is installed, residual water remains in 

the condensate container due to the dryer's self-cleaning function.

Humidity in the room 

increases.

Not a fault. Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated.

Power cut.

The drying programme is interrupted. Remove the laundry and spread it out, 

or restart the programme.

Unusual noises when 

drying.

Not a fault. Noises are produced by the automatic cleaning of the heat 

exchanger 

~

 Page 35

.

The dryer feels cold 

despite drying.

Not a fault. The dryer can dry efficiently at low temperatures using a heat pump.
