With the help of the following notes minor faults in the performance of the
machine, some of which may result from incorrect operation, can be put right
without contacting the Service Department.

,

Repair work to electrical appliances should only be carried out by a

suitably qualified person in strict accordance with local and national safety
regulations. Repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be
dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised work.

General problems

Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

The tumble dryer fails to
start when switched on.

No obvious cause.

– Have you followed the

switch-on procedure
correctly (see “How to
dry correctly”)?

– Is the plug correctly

inserted in the socket
and switched on?

– Is the door closed

properly?

– Has the fuse or circuit

breaker tripped?

Items made of synthetic
fibres are charged with
static electricity after
drying.

Synthetic fibres tend to
attract static charge.

Static charge can be
reduced by adding a
fabric conditioner to the
final rinse in the washing
machine or a fabric
conditioner sheet to the
load in the dryer.
