How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspecting seals and ducts.
- Check lint filter: Ensure the filter is the correct type for your Gorenje model and sits flush in its housing. Replace if damaged.
- Inspect filter housing: Look for cracks or gaps where lint could bypass the filter. Repair or replace the housing if necessary.
- Drum seals: Inspect front and rear felt seals for tears or detachment. Replace worn seals to prevent lint escape.
- Exhaust connections (vented models): Ensure all duct joints are sealed and clamped. Replace flexible ducting if full of holes or tears.
