Troubleshooting - Asko T701 Use And Care Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience a problem with your dryer, you should
review the following list of frequently encountered
situations or go to our website at www.askousa.com. It
could save you the cost and inconvenience of a service
call.
Even though the product is under warranty, if the problem
is not caused by defective product workmanship or
materials, you will be charged for a service call. Refer
to page 25 to determine what is and is not covered under
your warranty. If you're still not sure, contact the AM
Advisory Center before you call a serviceman.
BE.ORE YOU CALL
Before calling for service or contacting ASKO regarding
a warranty issue, make a note of the model name, type
number and serial number. The model is on the left front
of the control panel. The type plate with the type name
and serial numbers is located behind the door in the
upper left corner. (See illustration at right.)
♦
Make sure the door is closed securely.
♦
Models T721/T781: Make sure the condensation tank
is empty. (See page 22).
♦
Make sure the Power is turned on.

Check that you set the program or time correctly.
♦
Check that the electric plug is securely in the socket.
♦
Check the house breaker/fuses and the fuses on the
back of the dryer.

and instructions on how to restart the unit.

Check that the lint filter is clean.

If you use dryer sheets (not recommended), you may
need to wash the lint filter with warm water and a
soft brush to clean any blocked holes.
♦
Be careful not to overload the dryer because the
warm air needs sufficient room to circulate properly
and the clothes need room to tumble freely.

The laundry should only be damp when it comes
