Troubleshooting
If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical
Assistance Centre
(see Assistance).
The dryer does not start.
• The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.
• There has been a power cut.
• The fuse has burned out. Try connecting another appliance to the same socket.
• If an extension cord is used, try connecting the dryer plug directly into the socket.
• The door has not been closed properly.
• The programme has not been set correctly
(see How to carry out a drying cycle)
.
• The START/PAUSE
button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying cycle)
.
The drying cycle does not start.
• A delayed start time has been set
(see Programmes and options)
.
• The START/PAUSE button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the dryer starts running. Wait for the drying cycle to
start; do not press the START/PAUSE button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying cycle will not start.
Drying times are too long.
• The filter has not been cleaned
(see Care and maintenance)
.
• The water container must be emptied? The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes
(see Care and maintenance)
.
• The condenser needs to be cleaned
(see Care and maintenance)
.
• The heat setting is not suited to the type of fabric to be dried
(see Programmes and options)
.
• An incorrect drying time was selected for the type of load
(see Laundry)
.
• The air intake grille or the rear air vents are clogged up
(see Installation, and Care and maintenance).
• The items are too wet
(see Laundry)
.
• The dryer is overloaded
(see Laundry)
.
The “Empty water container” indicator light flashes.
• The water bottle was not emptied before starting the programme. Always empty it before starting a new drying programme (see
Description of the tumble dryer) - do not wait for the bottle full signal (buzzer beeps once every 5 seconds and the indicator light
flashes) before emptying the water container.
The programme is finished but the items are damper than expected.
!
For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 5 hours. If an automatic programme has not detected the final
dampness level required in this interval, the dryer completes the programme and stops. Check the above points and repeat the
programme; if the items are still damp, contact the Technical Assistance Centre
(see Assistance)
.
The “Options” and “START/PAUSE” indicator lights flash and one of the “Maintenance” or “Drying phases” indicator lights
turns on without flashing.
• Switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean the filter and condenser
(see “Care and Maintenance”)
. Reinsert the plug,
switch the appliance on and start another programme.
If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.
The dryer is noisy during the first few minutes of operation.
• This is normal, especially if the dryer has not been used for a long time. If the noise persists during the entire cycle, contact the
Technical Assistance Centre.
The lights on the dryer control panel are off although the dryer is switched on.
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
