Troubleshooting

Problem:

The tumble dryer won’t start.

Drying cycle will not begin.

Its taking a long time to dry.

Empty water icon is flashing

but the dryer has only been

running for a short period.

Empty water icon is on and the

water container is not full.

Programme finishes and

clothes are damper than

expected.

The display shows a fault code F

followed by one or two numbers

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 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 delayed time (see Start and Programmes).

●

The filter has not been cleaned (see Maintenance).

●

The condenser needs cleaning? (see Maintenance).

●

The water container needs emptying? The empty water icon is flashing?

(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 icon flashes when the container is full. If the icon is on

but not flashing it is just a reminder to empty the container (see Start

and Programmes).

! 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).

●

If the display shows F10 or F15:

- 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 F10 or F15 is still displayed contact the Service

Centre (see Service).

●

If any other number is shown: Note down the number and contact the

Service Centre (see Service).

One day your dryer seems not to be working. Before you call your Service Centre (see Service), go through the

following troubleshooting suggestions:
