What the FULL Message Means
The FULL alert indicates that the condensate water tank — the removable container that collects water extracted from laundry during the drying cycle — is full. On condenser and heat pump tumble dryers that are not connected directly to a drain, this tank needs to be emptied regularly. The machine pauses the drying programme until the tank has been emptied and refitted.
Common Reasons This Message Appears
Condensate tank full
The water tank has reached capacity and needs to be emptied. This is a normal maintenance alert and not a mechanical fault.
Water drain hose kinked or blocked
On models connected directly to a drain via a hose, a kinked or blocked drain hose can prevent water from draining away, causing the tank to fill up or the alert to appear.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Empty the condensate tank
Pull the water collection tank out of its drawer carefully. Empty the water into a sink. Reinsert the tank firmly into its housing until it is correctly seated.
Check the drain hose if connected to a drain
If your dryer is connected directly to a waste pipe or drain, check that the drain hose is not kinked, blocked or disconnected. Ensure it is correctly routed.
Restart the drying cycle
After emptying the tank and refitting it correctly, the machine should resume the drying programme. Press the Start/Pause button if required to restart.
Empty the tank more regularly
For heavily used machines or large loads, the tank may need emptying after every cycle. Making this part of your routine will prevent the FULL alert from interrupting drying cycles.

When To Contact A Professional
The FULL alert is a routine maintenance reminder and does not indicate a mechanical fault. If the alert persists after emptying and correctly refitting the tank, there may be a fault with the water level sensor or tank housing that requires a qualified engineer to investigate.
