  and signal — Filters clogged and airways blocked

What does   mean?

This fault message, accompanied by an audible signal after a programme has been cancelled, indicates a significant blockage within the dryer. Both the fluff filters and the plinth filter are likely clogged, and the internal airways underneath the plinth filter and the heat exchanger are also blocked with fluff.

• Fluff filters are heavily clogged with lint
• Plinth filter is severely clogged
• Airways (under plinth filter and heat exchanger) are blocked with fluff
