Excessive moisture in room, on walls and windows where the tumble dryer is located

Issue

• Excessive moisture in the room, on walls and windows where the tumble dryer is located

Applies to

• Heat Pump Dryers
• Condenser Dryers

Solution

1. Make sure that the tumble dryer is not built into, for instance, an enclosed cabinet without any ventilation.

The dryer can be installed as a free-standing unit or under the counter with the adequate space.

2. Install the appliance in a room with enough space and good ventilation:

If the tumble dryer is installed in a room which is too small, condensation may occur.

• Make sure that the room is large enough (more than roughly 10-12 m2).
• Small rooms will become quickly very hot because of the tumble dryer and the air humidity will condense on surfaces at a lower temperature.
• The problem can be rectified in many cases with good ventilation, for instance, by opening a window or a door during the drying process.

3. Do not install or use the appliance where the temperature can be less than 5°C or higher than 35°C.

• The tumble dryer gives off heat to the surroundings and if the heat hits cold walls, windows, etc., condensation/moisture will form on the cold surfaces. (It is the air humidity in the room which condenses.)

4. Clean the filters and door seal.

If the machine’s filters and door seal are not cleaned, they can produce an unnecessarily large amount of moisture in the room.

5. Check the door seal for possible damage.

If the door seal is damaged, this will result in an unnecessarily large amount of moisture in the room. Door seal needs to be replaced.

To replace a damaged door seal, contact an Authorized Service Centre.
