The machine will not start
Check
•
that the door is properly closed.
•
that the main power switch is on.
•
that the plug is connected.
•
that the fuses (circuit breakers) in your house
are intact. Swap two circuit breakers over to
make sure. You cannot always tell from the
outside if a circuit breaker is broken.
•
that the overheating cut-out has not been
triggered (see below).
•
that the lint filter is in place and is clean.
Overheating cut-out
The overheating cut-out shuts off the tumble dryer
if the temperature is too high, e.g. because dust
is clogging the lint filter.
•
Clean the lint filter.
•
The overheating cut-out will reset automatically
once the machine has cooled down.
Drying takes too long
•
Check that the lint filter is not clogged (see the
"Care and cleaning" chapter).
The washing does not dry, or is too
dry
•
The door has been opened while the
programme is running, which disrupts the
moisture monitoring function.
Error messages
•
If "Max program time" appears on the display,
the maximum programme time has been
reached. Read "Drying takes too long" in the
"Troubleshooting" chapter to find out what to
do.
•
If "Clean lint filter" appears on the display,
clean the lint filter.
•
Press the Stop button to close error messages.
•
The tumble dryer cannot start if the lint filter is
not in place. The error message "Insert filter"
appears on the display.
