PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you clean your dryer’s condenser?
Clean the condenser of your tumble dryer every 6 months, or sooner as soon as the indicator on the display lights up.
Limescale and lint on the condenser reduce drying efficiency and make drying take a lot longer. The 6 months is AEG’s advice for a heat pump dryer; with a regular condenser dryer, follow the message on the display. Empty the water container after every drying cycle.
- Open the bottom panel or the condenser flap
- Remove the condenser and rinse with lukewarm water
- Empty and rinse the water container
- Put everything back dry and firmly in place
