4  INVERTER OVERCURRENT 

Overcurrent detected by the drum cylinder motor inverter. 

Probable cause: 

Excessive  motor  power  consumption  due  to  obstruction  of  the  rotation,  seizing  or  malfunction  of  the 

transmission systems. 

Overloading or excessively wet linen that exceeds the maximum power capacity of the motor. 

Fault or short circuit in the motor. 

Fault or short circuit in the motor’s connection wiring. 

Inverter fault. 

Procedure: 

Check that nothing is obstructing the drum and preventing it from turning.

  Do  not  switch  the  dryer  off  and  on  various  times.  Causing  the  alarm  to  appear  repeatedly  can 

damage the inverter or the motor. 

 

 

5  DRUM MOTOR OVERHEATING 

Tripping of the drum motor’s thermal protection. 

Probable cause: 

Excessive  motor  power  consumption  due  to  obstruction  of  the  rotation,  seizing  or  malfunction  of  the 

transmission systems. 

Overloading or excessively wet linen that exceeds the maximum power capacity of the motor. 

Fault or short circuit in the motor. 

Fault or short circuit in the motor’s connection wiring. 

Procedure: 

Check that nothing is obstructing the drum and preventing it from turning. 

Check that there is no obstruction of the rear cover vents. 

If the ambient temperature of the premises exceeds 40 °C (104 °F), improve the ventilation of the premises. 

Disconnect the machine from the power supply and reconnect after five minutes. 

If fault persists, disconnect the power supply and contact Authorised Technical Services. 

 

 

6  GENERAL INVERTER FAULT
