Troubleshooting

 

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/Pause 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 water container needs emptying? The empty water light is flashing? 

(see Main-

tenance)

.

•  The condenser needs cleaning? 

(see Maintenance)

.

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

(see Start 

and Programmes, and see Laundry)

.

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

(see Laundry)

.

•  The air intake grille is 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 light flashes when the container is full. If the light is on but not 

flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Start and Programmes). 

•  If the Option lights and the START/PAUSE light flash together with other lights on, 

then:

- Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser (see 

Maintenance). Then replace the plug, turn on and start another programme. If 

the same combination of lights are on, note down the lights and contact the 

Service Centre (see Service).

!

   For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 5 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).

Problem:

The tumble dryer won’t start.

Drying cycle will not begin.

Its taking a long time to dry.

Empty water light is flashing but the 

dryer has only been running for a short 

period. 

Empty water light is on and the water 

container is not full.

PAUSE light Flash amber.

damper thanexpected..
