scope: AEG dryers with sensor programmes and time dry; heat-pump behaviour is specific to heat-pump models.
when to get help
- get help if normal loads stay wet despite suitable settings and clean filters, or for overheating, burning smells or a fault warning.
steps
- check the selected dryness
iron dry leaves moisture for ironing. for fabric that permits it, choose cupboard dry or a drier endpoint if that is the result you need.
- use timed finishing where suitable
for one item or washing already nearly dry from the line, select a suitable time dry period from the model guide and check the result. do not exceed the fabric's heat limit.
- allow a heat-pump cycle to work
on a heat-pump model, gentler heat and a longer cycle can be expected. avoid repeatedly opening the door to check for heat, and follow the model's accessible-filter care if drying remains poor.
