Troubleshooting
If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the
Technical Assistance Centre
(see Assistance).
The dryer does not start.
•
The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.
•
There has been a power cut.
•
The fuse has burned out. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket.
•
If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.
•
The door has not been closed properly.
•
The programme has not been set correctly
(see How to carry out a drying cycle)
.
•
The
START/PAUSE
button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying cycle)
.
•
On machines equipped with “Locked” function, check the option is not enabled
(see Programmes and options).
The drying cycle does not start.
•
A delayed start time has been set
(see Programmes and options)
.
•
The
START/PAUSE
button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the dryer starts running. Wait for the drying cycle
to start; do not press the
START/PAUSE
button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying cycle will
not start.
Drying times are too long.
•
The filter has not been cleaned
(see Care and maintenance)
.
•
The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes
(see Care and maintenance)
.
•
The condenser needs to be cleaned
(see Care and maintenance)
.
•
The heat setting is not suited to the type of fabric to be dried
(see Programmes and options)
.
•
An incorrect drying time was selected for the type of load
(see Laundry)
.
•
The air intake grille or the rear air vents are clogged up
(see Installation, and Care and maintenance).
•
The items are too wet
(see Laundry)
.
•
The dryer is overloaded
(see Laundry)
.
The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes.
•
The water bottle was not emptied before starting the programme. Always empty it before starting a new drying programme
(see Description of the tumble dryer) - do not wait for the bottle full signal (buzzer beeps once every 5 seconds and the
indicator light flashes) before emptying the water container.
The programme is finished but the items are damper than expected.
!
For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 5 hours. If an automatic programme has not detected the final
dampness level required in this interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points and repeat
the programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical Assistance Centre
(see Assistance)
.
The dryer is noisy during the first few minutes of operation.
•
This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise persists during the entire cycle, contact
the Technical Assistance Centre.
The lights on the dryer control panel are off although the dryer is switched on.
The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left the dryer on or have had a power cut. It
occurs after 30 minutes:
- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;
- after your drying programme has finished.
Turn the knob to the desired program to restart dryer operation (to start the program press
START/PAUSE
). The
OFF
position
switches off the dryer.
