If something goes wrong

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. 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? It should be cleaned after

each load.

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?

Have you re-read this instruction book?
