Beko tumble dryer symbol

[bekojosh]

Hello iv got a beko condenser tumble dryer and there's a box with 3 horizontal lines in it flashing and my dryer keeps stopping and starting.
Does anybody have any idea what this symbol means? Cannot find it online anywhere or in any manuals.
Thanks

I've had a quick search and can't see any explanation yet, but a guess would be the dampness sensors in the drum.

Heat exchanger cleaning (or evaporator cleaning) required.

Is that the compartment at the bottom? Do you know the best way to do this

Sorry, no idea, I suggest you check the instruction manual if you have one, or search online.

Vacuum with brush attachment or clean gently with toohbrush and vacuum. You want to keep fluff on your side of the evaporator and cleaning might take some work if it hasn't been done regularly.

I always run it under the kitchen sink until it has been flushed out and then leave it to dry next to the radiator

The filter, rather than the evaporator?

I am talking about the condenser, looks like a series of flat plates.

Gotcha. Was thinking of the evaporator in heat pump dryers.
