8 / TROUBLESHOOTING

Fault :

Check whether :

The items are unevenly dried :

- the types of textiles in the load are too different (e.g.

sheets together with jeans) 

- the laundry has been laid correctly ‘unfolded’ in the

dryer

- the drum is not overloaded.

The synthetic items are loaded with
static electricity :

- the laundry has been dried too much
- you have used softener during washing. By using this

product, you can reduce most of the problems with
static electricity.

The “Tank Full” indicator light is lit :

- the condensate container is full : once you have emp-

tied it, re-insert it correctly, pushing it completely into
its housing

The “Tank Full” indicator light illumi-
nates although the tank is empty :

- the container has been properly inserted : push it in

completely.

- the condenser is tightly locked on the two sides.

The "Empty Steam tank" indicator is
lit up :

- check that the steam tank is empty : if so, re-fill and

ensure it is secure firmly in its housing. The program
picks up where it had stopped.

The laundry will be slightly damp
after a steam cycle :

- you have used a steam programme: in this case, it is

completely normal, and it will make ironing easier.

Fault :

Check whether :

The dryer does not start :

- the plug is in the socket
- the “On/Off” button is pressed in
- the door is properly closed
- the condenser is correctly locked in place.

The drying times are too long :

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff.
- the condenser is not clogged.
- the filter and condenser housings are not clogged or

soiled.

- the laundry has been spun enough beforehand

(500rpm minimum, but spinning at 850rpm provides
better drying times).

- the room temperature is not too high, particularly if the

room is small: if needed, open the door or window.

- the air inlets and outlets are unobstructed enough to

ensure correct air circulation.

- the selected drying program does indeed correspond

to the type of laundry in the drum.

The laundry is too damp :

- the filter in the drum is clogged with fluff
- the type of drying has been selected correctly (too

low) : switch to the next program up or increase the
drying time.

- the condenser is not blocked by fluff.

The laundry is too dry, too creased :

- the selected drying program does indeed correspond

to the type of laundry in the drum.

Advice :

Some incidents may arise when you are using your dryer. Here are the points you should

check.
