Siemens Tumble Dryer
13 fault codes documented
Change in the programme duration displayed during drying — Dynamic adjustment by moisture sensors
The displayed programme duration changes while the dryer is in operation. This is a normal function, as the dryer's moisture sensors detect the remaining moisture in the laundry and adjust the programme length accordingly.
Creasing — Laundry is creased after drying
Laundry removed from the dryer is excessively creased. This can be due to overloading the dryer or selecting an unsuitable programme for the fabric type.
Display panel goes off and Start button flashes — Energy saving mode activated
The display panel turns off and the Start button begins to flash. This is not a fault but an indication that the dryer has entered energy saving mode to conserve power.
Dryer does not start — Appliance not running
The dryer does not begin its cycle when commanded. This could be due to a lack of power, an unselected program, an open door, or an activated childproof lock.
Humidity in the room increases — Insufficient ventilation
The humidity level in the room where the dryer is operating increases significantly. This indicates that the room is not adequately ventilated.
Laundry is not dried correctly or is still too damp — Laundry feels damp after drying
After a drying programme completes, the laundry remains damp or does not achieve the desired level of dryness. Warm laundry may feel damper than it actually is, so allow it to cool before re-evaluating.
Please clean the fluff filters — Display message
This message appears on the display panel, indicating that the fluff filters are dirty or blocked. Clean fluff filters are essential for efficient drying and to prevent longer drying times and increased energy consumption.
Please empty the condensate container — Display message and drying cycle interrupted
This message appears on the display panel and the drying cycle stops. It indicates that the condensate container is full and needs to be emptied before the dryer can continue operating.
Power cut — Drying programme interrupted
A power cut has occurred, causing the drying programme to stop mid-cycle. The dryer will cease operation until power is restored.
Residual water in the condensate container despite condensation drain installed — Normal function due to self-cleaning
Even when the dryer is connected to an optional condensation drain, some residual water may remain in the condensate container. This is a normal part of the dryer's self-cleaning function and not a fault.
The dryer feels cold despite drying — Efficient low-temperature drying
The dryer feels cold to the touch even when it is actively drying laundry. This is not a fault but a characteristic of efficient heat pump technology.
Unusual noises when drying — Normal noise from heat exchanger cleaning
The dryer produces unusual noises during operation. This is often a normal occurrence related to the automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger.
Water is leaking out — Water escaping from the dryer
Water is observed leaking from the dryer. This is often not a fault with the dryer's internal components but rather an issue with its positioning.
