Check the above points and run the programme again, if the results are still damp, contact the Service Centre (see Service).

Try turning the dryer off and remove the plug. Then replace the plug and turn on, if a fault is still shown when you turn the dryer back on: note the lights that are on (not flashing) and contact the Service Centre (see Service).
