Troubleshooting
One day your dryer seems not to be working. Before you call your Service Centre
(see Service)
, go through the following troublesho-
oting suggestions.
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The plug is not plugged into the socket, or not making contact.
• There has been a power failure.
• The fuse has blown. Try to plug another appliance into the socket.
• You are using an extension cord. Try to plug the dryer’s power cord directly into the
socket.
• The door is not closed securely.
• The programme has not been set properly
(see Start and Programmes)
.
• The START button has not been pressed
(see Start and Programmes)
.
• You have set a delay time
(see Start and Programmes)
.
• You have pressed the start button; there will be a short delay before the dryer starts.
Wait for drying to begin,do not press the start button again or the dryer will pause
and not begin drying.
• The filter has not been cleaned
(see Maintenance)
.
• The water container needs emptying? The empty water
light is flashing and
“
H2O
”
message is displayed?
(see Maintenance)
.
• The condenser needs cleaning
(see Maintenance)
.
• The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying
(see Start and
Programmes, and Laundry)
.
• The correct drying time has not been selected for this load
(see Laundry)
.
• The air intake grille is obstructed
(see Installation and see Maintenance).
• The items are too wet
(see Laundry)
.
• The dryer is overloaded
(see Laundry)
.
• The water container was probably not emptied at the start of the programme. Do
not wait for the empty water signal always check and empty the container before
starting a new drying programme
(see Maintenance)
.
• This is normal the empty water flashes when the container is full. If the light is on but not
flashing its just a reminder to empty the container
(see Start and Programmes)
.
!
For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 4 hours. If an automatic pro-
gramme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time the dryer will comple-
te the programme and stop. Check the above points and run the programme again,
if the results are still to damp, contact the service centre
(see Service)
.
• If the display shows F10 or F15, Turn off and remove plug, Clean the Filter and Con-
denser (see Maintenance). Then replace plug turn on and start another program. If
the F10 or F15 is then displayed contact the service centre
(see Service)
.
If any other number is shown; Note down the number and contact the service cen-
tre
(see Service)
.
• The dryer is in ‘Demo’ mode. Press and hold both the On/Off and Start/Pause but-
tons for 3 seconds. The display will show
“dOn”
for 3 seconds and then the dryer
will resume normal operation.
• The time to end is continuously monitored throughout the drying cycle and the time
is adjusted to give the best-estimated time. The displayed time may increase during
the cycle and this is normal.
• This is normal, particularly if the dryer has not been used for a while. If the noise
persists throughout the whole drying cycle then contact the service centre.
• The dryer has gone into standby mode to save power. This occurs if you have left the
dryer on or have had a power cut. It occurs after 30 minutes:
- if you leave the dryer without starting a programme;
- after your drying programme has finished.
Press the On/Off button and the lights will come on again.
