Troubleshooting

The machine will not start

Check

•that the outer door is properly closed

•that the main power switch is pressed

•that you have set the programme correctly

•that the Delayed Start option has not been selected. If so, the time remaining until start will be shown in full hours in the display (e.g. 5, 4, 3h). To cancel the programme, see page 10

•that any plug is connected

•that your home’s fuses (circuit breakers) are intact, swap two circuit breakers.You cannot always tell from outside if a circuit breaker is broken

•that the overheating cut-out has not been triggered (see below).

Overheating cut-out

The overheating cut-out shuts off the tum- ble dryer if the temperature is too high, e.g. because dust is clogging the fluff filter.

•Clean the filter.

•Check also that the condensed water container is not full and, if necessary, clean the condenser. See “Care and cleaning” on page 14.

•The overheating cut-out will reset auto- matically once the machine has cooled.

Drying takes too long

•Empty the condensed water container and check that neither the fluff filter nor the condenser is clogged. See “Care and cleaning” on page 14.

•Prolonged drying times may also be due to the condenser dryer being placed in a room that is too small and the air in the room (cooling air) being too hot.

•Make sure that the tumble dryer has ac- cess to more cold air, e.g. by opening doors and/or windows.

Error messages

•If F1 flashes in the display, the condensed water container is full.

Empty the container and restart.

•If F2 flashes in the display, the maxi- mum permitted programme time has been reached. For remedial action, read “Drying takes too long” in the “Troubleshooting” sec- tion.
