AEG Reduced Heating Efficiency

Dryer takes multiple cycles to fully dry towels or heavy items, even though it eventually gets them dry.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Partially blocked condenser, Failing compressor (heat pump), Insufficient airflow around dryer, Aging heating element

Safety first: Disconnect mains power before cleaning.

1. Deep clean airflow components: Clean lint filter, condenser/heat exchanger, and any accessible ducts thoroughly.
2. Check installation: Ensure the dryer has adequate clearance from walls and is not installed in a very cold or unventilated space.
3. Use appropriate program: Select a higher dryness level or a program designed for towels or cottons.
4. When to call a technician: If performance remains poor, the heater or compressor may be weak and should be tested professionally.
