Problem solving guide
Electrical appliances should only be repaired by qualified personnel. Incor-
rectly repaired machines may put the user at risk. There are, however, minor
problems which can be corrected without contacting the Service Department.
What to do if, . . . ?
Cause . . .
Remedy . . .
. . . the tumble dryer fails to
start when turned on?
Check whether the “On”
indicator lights up. If so, failure
to start may be due to an
incorrect program selection
procedure.
Repeat the switch-on procedure
in the correct sequence, as
outlined in the “Program
Selection” chapter.
If the “On” indicator lamp does
not illuminate, check that:
– The “ON/OFF” button is
depressed.
– The door is properly closed.
– The machine is plugged in
and the fuse or circuit breaker
has not tripped.
. . . the laundry is not suffi-
ciently dry?
The load consists of dissimilar
items (size and fabrics).
Select a longer drying program.
Small loads or individual items
may cause the program to
terminate the cycle prematurely.
Small loads can be time-dried.
. . . the drying times are too
long?
The lint filter is clogged.
Clean the lint filter in the door.
The laundry was not spun in the
washer for a sufficient time.
Make sure that the laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
. . . the “anti-crease” indicator
lamp in the sequence indica-
tor display starts flashing?
– Turn the program selector
to “finish”.
– Turn the machine off and
then on again.
– Select a program.
– Press the “Start” button.
If the indicator lamp starts
flashing again, this indicates a
fault in the machine.
