Problem solving guide
Electrical appliances should only be repaired by qualified personnel. Incor-
rectly repaired machines may put the user at risk. There are, however, minor
problems which can be corrected without contacting the Service Department.
What to do if, . . . ?
Cause . . .
Remedy . . .
. . . the tumble dryer fails to
start when turned on?
Check whether the “On”
indicator lights up. If so, failure
to start may be due to an
incorrect program selection
procedure.
Repeat the switch-on
procedure in the correct
sequence, as outlined in the
“Program Selection” section.
If the “On” indicator lamp does
not illuminate, check that:
– The “ON/OFF” button is
depressed.
– The door is properly closed.
– The machine is plugged in
and the fuse or circuit breaker
has not tripped.
. . . the laundry is not
sufficiently dry?
The load consisted of dissimilar
items (size and fabrics).
Select a longer drying
program.
Small loads or individual items
may cause the program to
terminate prematurely.
Small loads can be time-dried.
. . . the drying times are too
long?
The lint filter is clogged.
Clean the lint filter in the door.
The laundry was not spun in
the water for a sufficient time.
Make sure that the laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
. . . the “anti-crease”
indicator lamp in the
sequence indicator display
starts flashing?
– Turn the program selector
to “finish”.
– Turn the machine off and
then on again.
– Select a program.
– Press the “Start” button.
If the indicator lamp starts
flashing again, this indicates a
fault in the machine.
