Troubleshooting

Problem:

The tumble dryer won’t start.

Drying cycle will not begin.

Its taking a long time to dry.

Empty water icon is flashing
but the dryer has only been
running for a short period.

Empty water icon is on and
the water container is not full.

Programme finishes and
clothes are damper than
expected.

The display shows a fault
code F followed by one or two
numbers

Possible causes / Solution:

The plug is not plugged into the socket, or not making contact.

There has been a power failure.

The fuse has blown. Try to plug another appliance into the socket.

You are using an extension cord?  Try to plug the dryer’s power cord 
directly into the socket.

The door is not closed securely?

The programme has not been set properly (

see Start and Programmes

).

The START button has not been pressed (

see Start and  Programmes

).

You have set a delayed time (

see Start and Programmes

).

The filter has not been cleaned (

see Maintenance

).

The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying 
(

see Start and Programmes, and see Laundry

).

The water container needs emptying? The empty water icon is flashing? 
(

see Maintenance

).

The condenser needs cleaning? (

see Maintenance

).

The correct drying time has not been selected for the load (

see Laundry

).

The air intake grille or rear vents are obstructed (

see Installation, and see 

Maintenance

).

The items were too wet (

see Laundry

).

The dryer was overloaded (

see Laundry

).

The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the 
programme. Do not wait for the empty water signal, always check and 
empty the container before starting a new drying programme (

see 

Maintenance

).

This is normal, the icon flashes when the container is full. If the icon is on 
but not flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (

see Start and 

Programmes

).

!

For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 3 hours. If an

automatic programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time
the dryer will complete the programme and stop. Check the above points
and run the programme again, if the results are still damp, contact the
Service Centre (

see Service

).

Note down the code and contact the Service Centre (

see Service

).

One day your dryer seems not to be working. Before you call your Service Centre (

see Service

), go through the
