AEG dryer doesn't dry properly
Isn't your laundry dry after the dryer cycle? The drying level might not be set right. Turn on the machine and set the dial to one of the cycles. Press the 'Drying level' and 'Anti-wrinkle' buttons at the same time until the display changes. Press the start button until CO_ appears. Save the setting by pressing the 'Drying level' and 'Anti-wrinkle' buttons simultaneously again. Doesn't this work? Check the manual of your dryer.
Error 'empty reservoir' appears
When the light for the condenser reservoir comes on, the container is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the container back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. In addition, the drain shouldn't be higher up than 1m.
