When I open my Electrolux tumble dryer, there is a large amount of lint / fluff

Issue

• When I open my tumble dryer, there is a large amount of lint / fluff

Applies to:

• Heat pump dryer
• Condenser dryer
• Vented dryer

Resolution

It is normal that lint forms during the drying process and it cannot be avoided. This process is very dependent on the load (e.g. new towels, fleece etc.).

1. Clean the filters in the door opening after each use.

2. In the case of the condenser or heat pump tumble dryer, also regularly (every 6 months) clean the condenser/heat exchanger at the bottom of your appliance.

4. Contact an Authorized Service Center.

If the above suggestions did not solve the problem, we recommend requesting a visit by a service engineer.
