Can an ironing finish be mistaken for failed drying?

Yes. A programme intended to prepare suitable laundry for ironing may leave it less dry than a storage target. The selected endpoint is therefore part of the result.

Understanding this situation

Check the exact setting displayed, particularly after using a saved favourite or another household member's choices. An expected damp finish is different from wet patches, an incomplete programme or an error.

A useful next step

Choose the target needed for the garment's next step and follow its label. If the appliance fails to reach its documented finish on appropriate loads, describe that mismatch specifically rather than assuming that all moisture means the heating system has stopped.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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