Can I dry items with foam padding in the combination machine?

Only if the complete item's care instructions explicitly permit the selected machine drying method. Foam, rubber-like padding and laminated layers can have restrictions unlike ordinary woven fabric.

Understanding this situation

A washable cover may be removable while the inner material requires a different treatment. Putting the entire object through a continuous programme can therefore be unsuitable even when one layer is labelled washable.

A useful next step

Check the product instructions before loading. If drying is not permitted, use the specified alternative. Stop use and seek advice if padding deteriorates, melts or produces an unusual smell; do not continue with a cooler trial to find a tolerable setting.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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