Washer-dryer does not dry clothes effectively; clothes come out damp even after a full drying cycle.

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

• Clean condenser: If your SMEG model has a removable condenser, take it out and rinse thoroughly under running water to remove lint and detergent residue.
• Clear air paths: Inspect and clean the dryer air ducts and fan area of lint build-up to improve airflow.
• Check load size: Do not overload the drum when drying; follow the maximum dry load specified in the manual.
• Test heater: If there is no noticeable warmth during drying, test and replace the dryer heating element and thermostats as needed.
• Sensor check: A faulty dryer NTC can cause premature shut-off; test and replace if readings are incorrect.
