FAULT FINDING

FAULT CODES

These models DO NOT display Fault Codes when the dryer develops a fault.

 

However an Auto Test feature is available to help diagnose faults.

Preliminary Checks:

Before performing any tests ALWAYS check that the Water Container is empty and that the Condenser 
Unit and the Drum Filter are NOT blocked with fluff or lint, as this may be the cause or partial cause of 
the of the fault.

Auto Test

If a Fault is detected the dryer will not move on to the next phase of the test, but will perform the 
following sequence: 

>

Beep Once 

>

Pause for 30 Seconds 

>

Beep 3 Times 

>

The End LED will display 

This will Indicate the dryer has a Fault, but it will not indicate the exact cause of the problem.  

Observing at which phase the auto test ends gives an indication of the type of fault and cause.  

See the information on the following pages.
