Any other
problem

First, don’t panic! There may be nothing wrong at all. Look for your
problem below, then check the things we suggest. More often than
not, this will give you the answer to your problem, and you’ll be able
to carry on without having to telephone your Service Office.

If after this you still cannot get your machine to work, follow the
advice given on the next page.

Check these things first

1. Is the machine plugged in and switched on at the socket?
2. Is the timer control set to required time?
3. Is the door securely closed?
4. Has the fuse blown? (Try plugging in another appliance to check)
5.  Is the Timer Delay control set to zero?
6.  Have you used an extension lead? Many are not suitable. Try

plugging the dryer directly into a socket to check.

1. Have you forgotten to clean the filter? Check it.
2. Have you selected the correct Heat setting for the type of fabric

you are drying?

3. Is the flexible Vent Hose blocked or kinked? Check it for foreign

objects or condensate (water).

4. Is the air inlet obstructed in any way?
5. Permanent venting - is flap on the storm cover obstructed?
6. were the clothes ‘excessively wet’ when they were put in?
7. Was the correct time selected?
8. Have you overloaded the dryer?

1.  Has the correct programme been selected for the load?

3 - 5kg programme 

✽ 

(large)

1 - 3kg programme

✽   

(small)

Less than 1kg, use timed dry programme.

2.  Has HIGH heat been selected?

The auto programmes will not operate on low heat, if low heat is
required use timed dry.
