The AEG TR848A4B2 tumble dryer can be installed under a worktop, but it has specific ventilation clearance requirements to ensure safe and efficient operation:

According to the user manual:
Sides: Minimum 2.5 cm clearance on each side.
Top: Minimum 3 cm clearance.
Rear: Minimum 10 cm clearance behind the appliance.

Your setup:
20 cm at the back ✅ (more than sufficient)
3 cm at the sides ✅ (meets the minimum)
3 cm at the top ✅ (meets the minimum)

✅ Conclusion:
Yes, the TR848A4B2 can be used under a worktop with your described clearances. Just ensure the space is well-ventilated and not enclosed too tightly, especially at the rear, to allow proper airflow for the heat pump system.

The AEG TR848A4B2 is a heat pump tumble dryer, and like most models of this type, it typically includes a built-in water reservoir that collects the condensed water from the drying process. This reservoir can be manually emptied after each cycle or when full.

However, many AEG heat pump dryers, including this one, also offer the option to connect a drain hose so the water can be automatically pumped out—eliminating the need to empty the reservoir manually.

Summary:
✅ Manual emptying: Yes, via built-in water tank.
✅ Drain hose option: Yes, for continuous drainage (usually included or optional).

The clicking sound and the dryer not starting could be due to several common issues:

Faulty Door Switch: The door switch ensures the dryer only operates when the door is closed. If it's malfunctioning, the dryer might think the door is open.
Defective Start Switch: If the start switch is faulty, the dryer won't start even if you hear a click.
Blown Thermal Fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device that stops the dryer from overheating. If it's blown, the dryer won't start.
Broken Drive Belt: If the drive belt is broken, the drum won't turn, and the dryer won't start.
To diagnose and fix the issue, you might need to check these components. If you're not comfortable doing this yourself, it might be best to contact a professional technician.
