Tumble dryer · Programme and textile choices

Why might nearly dry clothes need a different programme?

Some sensor programmes are designed around freshly washed compatible loads. Almost-dry or very small items can present a different sensing situation.

Understanding this situation

The model may recommend a particular timed or finishing option, but that instruction must still suit the garment. An unexpected short result on a finishing task is different from normal wet loads failing to dry.

A useful next step

Check the manual's guidance for the specific task rather than assuming a sensor fault. Use only a permitted finishing method. If appropriate ordinary loads also show a new persistent change, include that wider pattern in the repair enquiry.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
