How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry and the area is safe before touching plugs or sockets.

  • 1. Check power supply: Verify that the wall socket works by testing with another appliance. Check the household fuse or breaker.
  • 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks in the dryer power cord. Do not use the appliance if the cord is damaged.
  • 3. Confirm door closure: Make sure the door is fully closed and latched; the dryer will not start with an open door.
  • 4. Try a different program: Select another drying program and press start to rule out a faulty program selection.
  • 5. When to call a technician: If there is power at the socket but the dryer remains dead or unresponsive, the mains filter, UI, or main control board may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
