Cause and remedy
The room in which the dryer is located is too warm.
 Ventilate the room thoroughly.
Detergent residues, hair and fine fluff can clog the fil‐
ters.
 Clean the fluff filters and the plinth filter.
 Remove any visible fluff:
. . . bottom left, from behind the panel in the heat
exchanger cavity (see "Cleaning and care");
. . . from the cooling fins behind the grille bottom
right (see the end of this section).
The cool air intake (bottom right grille) is blocked.
 Move any objects, such as a laundry basket, away
from the dryer.
The fluff filters and the plinth filter were wet when re‐
placed.
 The fluff filters and the plinth filter must be dry.
The laundry is too damp.
 Spin using a higher spin speed in the washing ma‐
chine.
The tumble dryer has been overloaded
 Do not exceed the maximum load for the pro‐
gramme selected.
Metal zips have prevented the dryer from registering
the correct moisture level.
 Open the zips next time.
 If the problem recurs, dry these items using the
Warm air timed drying programme.
* Before starting another programme:
 Switch the dryer off and then on again.
The compressor is operating.
These noises are quite normal and do not indicate a
fault.
