Troubleshooting
Problem:
The tumble dryer won’t start.
Drying cycle will not begin.
Its taking a long time to dry.
Programme finishes and
clothes are damper than
expected.
Empty water light is on and
the water container is not full.
The ON/OFF light flashes to
indicate a fault.
Possible causes / Solution:
● 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 PROGRAMMES knob has not been set properly ( see Start and
Programmes ).
●
The START button has not been pressed ( see Start and Programmes ).
●
You have set a delayed time ( see Start and Programmes ).
●
The filter has not been cleaned ( see Maintenance ).
● The temperature setting is not ideal for the type of fabric you are drying
(
see Start and Programmes, and see Laundry ).
●
The water container needs emptying? The empty water light is on? ( see
Maintenance ).
● The condenser needs cleaning? ( see Maintenance ).
●
The correct drying time has not been selected for the load ( see Laundry ).
● The air intake grille or rear vents are obstructed ( see Installation, and see
Maintenance ).
●
The items were too wet ( see Laundry ).
● The dryer was overloaded ( see Laundry ).
! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 3 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 damp, contact the
Service Centre (
see Service ).
●
This is normal, the light flashes when the container is full. If the light is on
but not flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (
see Start and
Programmes ).
●
Note down the other lights that are on and contact the Service Centre
(
see Service ).
