DISPLAY

The display shows either the amount of time delay remaining or an indication of the amount of time left for a drying programme.

The delay time is displayed in hours and counts down each minute.

The time to end is displayed in hours and minutes and counts down each minute, this includes the cool tumble phase. When timed programmes are selected the time displayed throughout the cycle is the actual time remaining.

When a sensing programme is selected the time displayed is an estimate of the time remaining. When the programme is selected the display shows the time required to dry a full load, after around 10 minutes the controller calculates a better estimate of the cycle time. The colons between the hours and minutes in the display flash to show that the time is counting down. When the programme finishes its cool tumble phase the display will show E88 .

The display also shows if there is a problem with your dryer, if this occurs the display will show F followed by a fault code number (see Troubleshooting).
