    Also a tip, don't be a ding bat like me and when prompted on the console, remember to turn the dial to "OK" that youve cleaned the heat exchanger and not simply click on "0" to confirm - which only selects later lol you'll get constantly reminded of it otherwise 😂

    Could you use a compressed air canister to clean it?

    • @worldofcraig

      I'd just be cautious about blowing the lint into the machine. Ideally you'd suck it out

    Are the foils part of the heat exchanger? ‎Would it also help if I gave them a wipe over with a slightly damp microfiber cloth?

      Hello! Sorry to hear this. Might you try un-plugging the device, and after cleaning the filter, leave the filter flap open for a day or two to ‘breathe’ (dry out) a little. The fluff in the filter is often quite wet in mine after heavy use.
      Good luck!!

    Our new hisense dryers manual seems to suggest we should have a foam filter in our heat pump filter but it didn't come with one (ours looks like yours). Is this foam needed?

    • @julialentz3240
      @julialentz3240 2 месяца назад

      I’d recommend it, it is a pain to clean the heat pump filter and putting a foam filter in front of it makes it much easier.

    • @worldofcraig
      @worldofcraig  5 месяцев назад +1

      Are you confirming on the system that you have indeed cleaned them? Mine asks me.. and if i just skip it, it keeps coming up. I don’t believe these have sensors, it is just a general reminder as it is important to do regularly.

    • @worldofcraig
      @worldofcraig  Месяц назад +1

      It is indeed. I do try to carefully mop up some of the moisture, after cleaning the heat exchanger. If the moisture build up is more considerable, I'll leave the cover open for the rest of the day, and ensure the room is ventilated.

      Hello! I’d worry a sponge style filter would limit the air flow a little bit too much, negatively impacting the efficiency..

    Is there a way to deep clean the filter?
    I was in hospital for a while and no one cleaned it and now there’s loads of lint behind it that I can’t reach with the brush and I’m concerned it’s a fire hazard

    • @worldofcraig
      @worldofcraig  6 месяцев назад

      If the lint has had a chance to dry out, are you able to remove it with a vacuum cleaner? Perhaps maximise the intensity by using a narrow attachment on the suction nozzle. I also have some buildup that I can’t reach, but have never had an issue as long as the more accessible external lint has been taken care of. Good luck!

    Called a condenser dryer. I have one and a SDC14709. My whole filter at the bottom comes out and I wash it in the bath. Let it dry and put it back in. The vent on the right can come off. How do I remove this? Is my question...

    It's a tatty way of cleaning, not very effective, the lint is always wet and sticks, I open the hatch let it dry and hoover it.

      also a very good option. IF you have the chance. With two young kids at home, we rarely have the time to leave it long enough to dry out.. machine always in use 😂

      No it doesn't work with a vacuum cleaner. It's wet gunk and you can never clean it properly. My samsung stopped working after 2 years and was lucky I got it repaired under warranty but I can't see it lasting for more than 5 years
