Troubleshooting

One day your dryer seems not to be working. Before you call your Service Centre (see Service), go through the
following troubleshooting suggestions:
Problem:
The tumble dryer won't start.
Drying cycle will not begin.
Its taking a long time to dry.
Empty water light is flashing
but the dryer has only been
running for a short period.
Empty water light is on and
the water container is not full.
The OPTION lights and the
START/PAUSE light Flash
amber.
Programme finishes and
clothes are damper than
expected.
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/PAUSE 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 water container needs emptying? The empty water light is flashing?
(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 see Laundry).
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).
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 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).
If the Option lights and the START/PAUSE light flash together with the
Clean Condenser and Cool Tumble lights; Or the Progress lights and
START/PAUSE light flash together with the Clean Filter, Clean Condenser,
Cool Tumble and END lights on, then:
- Turn off and remove the plug. Clean the filter and the condenser
(see Maintenance). Then replace the plug, turn on and start another
programme. If the same combination of lights still flash contact the
Service Centre (see Service).
If the Option lights and the START/PAUSE light flash with any other
combination of lights on: Note down the lights that are on and contact the
Service Centre (see Service).
! For safety the dryer has a maximum programme time of 4 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).
