I changed my dryer recently. I used to have an ASKO model for 10 years. I bought this tumble dryer. It is much noisier than ASKO. This noise for Siemens is normal. I am very disappointed.

I never noticed the noise, but it's in a separate laundry for us. I'll be buying an Asko next time.

Sorry I've necver used an Asko but I don't find my Siemens noisy at all - but I only have an old Hoover dryer to compare it to and it is in a different room.

Hi Res, Thanks for the comment regarding your Siemens dryer. This appliance should be at a level of 64dB, we don't know if you have any way of measuring this but a service call would be needed to determine if there is actually a fault. If you need any more help, feel free to contact us on 1300 167 425. Regards, Siemens Home Australia

we have just installed this dryer but it is not actually "drying" our clothes. Is this normal?? I am used to items from dryers coming out dry enough to fold & put away but even when I select cupboard dry on my settings I am finding my laundry still feels damp.

If cupboard dry isn't working you can try fine adjust, which will add time in various increments to the selected program. Or, what I usually do is select warm, then hit the plus on the "finish in" button and this will add time to the initial warm 20min cycle in 10min increments. This should get the clothes dry, but beware as the warm cycle has no sensor it can overheat your clothes! My go to is either 1.5hr or 2hr depending on weight in the dryer.

I've also noticed some of the selected programs like cottons will dry clothes pretty well if I've adjusted to cupboard dry and added fine adjust. Perhaps it works better with more weight? Who knows ...

Does it spin both ways during a cycle?

Hi Julie, Thanks for your question regarding your Siemens WT47W580AU Dryer. The drum oscillates one way, in a clockwise direction during a cycle. The softWave paddles with textile care structure assist with reducing creasing.

If you have any future queries, please feel free to call us on 1300 167 425 to discuss further.

Regards, Siemens Home Australia.

Hello Julie,

The answer to your question is clockwise only, for me it still dose a great job for my washing!

Hope that helps
