Troubleshooting

If you feel that the dryer is not working properly, consult the following troubleshooting suggestions before contacting the Technical

Assistance Centre

(see Assistance).

Problem:

The dryer does not start.

The drying cycle does not start.

Drying times are too long.

The programme is finished but the

items are damper than expected.

The "Options" and "START/PAU-

SE" indicator lights flash and one

of the "Maintenance" or "Drying

phases" indicator lights turns on

without flashing.

The dryer is noisy during the first

few minutes of operation.

The lights on the dryer control

panel are off although the dryer is

switched on

Possible causes / Solutions:

• The plug has not been inserted far enough into the socket to make contact.

• There has been a power cut.

• The the fuse has blown. 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).

START/PAUSE

• The

button has not been pressed (see How to carry out a drying

cycle).

• A delayed start time has been set (see Programmes and options).

START/PAUSE

• The

button has been pressed; a short delay follows before the dryer

starts running. Wait for the drying cycle to start; do not press the

button otherwise the dryer switches to the pause mode and the drying cycle will not

start.

• The filter has not been 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 flexible ventilation hose may be blocked (see Installation).

• The air inlet may be blocked or obstructed (see Installation).

• The fixed ventilation flap, on the protective weatherproof cover, may be obstructed

(see Installation).

• The items are too wet (see Laundry).

• The dryer is overloaded (see Laundry).

For safety reasons, the dryer programmes last a maximum of 4 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).

• Switch the appliance off and unplug it, then clean the filter (see "Care and

Maintenance"). Reinsert the plug, switch the appliance on and start another

programme.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

• 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 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
