Washer-dryer leaves clothes very hot and damp at the end of a drying cycle.

Safety: Allow the machine to cool and unplug before cleaning internal ducts.

• Clean lint paths: Remove the rear panel and clean lint from the dryer duct, fan housing, and condenser (if accessible). Ensure all air passages are clear.
• Check fan operation: During a drying cycle, the fan should run continuously. If not, test and replace the dryer fan motor as needed.
• Reduce load size: Dry smaller loads to allow better airflow and moisture removal.
• Ventilation: Ensure the appliance has adequate space around it for cooling air intake and exhaust (as per Hotpoint installation guidelines).
