Possible Causes

Door not fully closed, faulty door switch, defective Start button or user interface, child lock enabled

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you need to open panels, unplug the dryer first.

Basic checks:

  • Ensure the door is firmly closed and that nothing is trapped in the door seal.
  • Check the display for a child lock symbol; if present, disable the lock according to the user manual (often by holding a specific button combination).
  • Try selecting a different program and pressing Start again.
  • If the dryer still does not start, test the door switch for proper operation and replace if faulty.
  • If the Start button does not register (no beep or response), the user interface board may be defective and require replacement.
