Washer-dryer does not dry clothes effectively; clothes come out damp and cool

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool before servicing the dryer system.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Clean lint filter: Remove all lint from the filter after every drying cycle.
• 2. Clean condenser: If accessible, remove the condenser unit and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
• 3. Check load size and spin: Ensure clothes are well spun before drying and the drum is not overloaded.
• 4. Test heater and fan: If airflow is weak or there is no heat, inspect and test the dryer heater and fan motor as described in E09/E12.

When to call a technician: If cleaning does not improve drying, internal heater or sensor faults may require professional repair.
