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 are 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 5 hours. If an automatic
programme has not sensed the required final moisture in this time the dryer will
complete 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 a Fault, Turn off and remove plug, Clean the Filter and Condenser
(see Maintenance). Then replace plug turn on and start another program. If the
Fault is then displayed contact the service centre (see Service) . If any other number
is shown; Note down the number and contact the service centre (see Service) .
• The dryer is in ‘Demo’ mode. Press and hold both the On/Off and Start/Pause
buttons 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 and hold the ON/OFF button until the dryer reactivates
