What to do if…?

Troubleshooting by yourself

If, during operation, the dryer shows an error display (one or more displays flashing on the programme progress display), check first of all whether you can remedy the problem yourself by means of the table below. If you cannot solve the problem: Switch the machine off and on again. Reset programme. Press the START/PAUSE button.

If the error display is still shown, please contact your local Service Force Centre and inform about flashing displays.
