Problem solving guide

Electrical appliances should only be repaired by qualified personnel. Incor-

rectly repaired machines may put the user at risk. There are, however, minor

problems which can be corrected without contacting the Service Department.

. . . the tumbl e dryer f ails to
start when turned on?
Check whether the “On”
indicator lights up. If so, failure
to start may be due to an
incorrect program selection
procedure.
Repeat the switch-on
procedure in the correct
sequence, as outlined in the
“Program Selection” section.
If the “On” indicator lamp does
not illuminate, check that: – The “ON/OFF” button is
depressed.
– The door is properly closed.
– The machine is plugged in
and the fuse or circuit breaker
has not tripped.
. . . the laun dry is not
sufficiently dry?
The load consisted of dissimilar
items (size and fabrics). Select a longer drying
program.
Small loads or individual items
may cause the program to
terminate prematurely.
Small loads can be time-dried.
. . . the drying times are too
long?
The lint filter is clogged. Clean the lint filter in the door.
The laundry was not spun in
the water for a sufficient time. Make sure that the laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
. . . the “anti-crease”
indicator lamp in the
sequence indicator display
starts flashing?
– Turn the program selector
to “finish”.
– Turn the machine off and
then on again.
– Select a program.
– Press the “Start” button.
If the indicator lamp starts
flashing again, this indicates a
fault in the machine.
