Problem 1) Possible cause Remedy
Drying cycle too
short.

size.
The laundry was not spun suffi-
ciently.
Spin the laundry well.
Too low or too high room temper-
ature - this is not the appliance
malfunction.
Ensure a room temperature higher
than +5°C and lower than +35°C.
Optimal room temperature to ach-
ieve best drying results is between
19°-24°C.
