Beko washer dryer drying slowly due to load size and setup

The problem

A new Beko washer dryer appeared to dry very slowly, with air that felt only cool, and the user wanted to know if the drying temperature could be increased.

Likely cause

The strongest supported explanation is incorrect use rather than a confirmed fault: trying to dry a full wash load in a washer dryer, and possibly not leaving the cold water supply on during the drying cycle. The discussion states these machines usually dry only about half a wash load and can take a long time even with smaller loads.

What fixed it

Reduce the drying load to about half of the washed load by removing some items after the final spin, and ensure the cold water valve remains on during the drying cycle. Check the instruction book for the stated drying capacity and expected programme times. No method to increase the drying temperature was given.

Checks to try

• Whether a full wash load was being dried
• Whether half the load was removed after the final spin
• Whether the cold water valve was left on during drying
• The instruction book for drying load size and expected drying time
