Safety reset
1. These dryers have a safety cut out switch which is activated by
temperature.
2. The safety reset button is on the backboard. If your dryer not heating
this button must be reset before the dryer will operate again. You may
need to wait 10 minutes for cooling to occur.
3. The most common reason for the dryer to overheat is a blocked filter.
Clean the line filter after each load to prevent overheating of the dryer.
It will only be necessary to press the safety reset button if the dryer
not heating. Allow the dryer at least 10 minutes to cool down before
pressing the button .Press the white button in until you feel the reset
click. Cleaning the filter after each load will avoid repetitive operation
of the safety cut out switch.
The cut out switch may operate for the following reason:
1. Lint filter is blocked.
2. Exhaust outlets blocked at the back of the dryer.
3. Poor ventilation in the laundry or room-open a window or door
4. Lightweight garment eg. handkerchief, sucked over the filter.
