Troubleshooting; The Machine Will Not Start; Overheating Cut-Off; Drying Takes Too Long - Asko T712C Operating Instructions Manual

Troubleshooting

The machine will not start

Check
• that the door is properly closed.
• that the main power switch is on.
• that the Delayed Start option has not been se-
lected. If so, the time remaining until start will
be shown in full hours on the display (e.g., 5,
4, 3h). To cancel Delayed Start, press the
Start/Stop button for 3 seconds.
• that any plug is connected.
• that the fuses (circuit breakers) in your house
are intact. Flip the dryer breaker off and then
back on to make sure. You can not always tell
from the outside if the circuit breaker has
tripped.
• that the overheating cut-off has not been trig-
gered (see below).

Overheating cut-off

The overheating cut-off shuts off the tumble dryer
if the temperature is too high, caused by lint
clogging the lint filter, for instance.
• Clean the filter.
• Check that the condenser is clean. Clean it if
necessary. See the "Care and cleaning"
chapter.
• The overheating cut-off will reset automatically
once the machine has cooled down.

Drying takes too long

• Check that the lint filter and the condenser are
not blocked. See the "Care and maintenance"
chapter.
• Prolonged drying times may also be due to the
tumble dryer being located in a confined space
or room that is too small, causing the air to
become too hot.
• Make sure that the tumble dryer has access
to more cold air, by opening doors and/or win-
dows, for example.
The laundry does not dry, or is too
dry
• The door has been opened while the program
is running, which disrupts the moisture monitor-
ing function.

Error messages

• - If F1 flashes in the display, the condenser
drain hose could be blocked. Remove the
hose from the drain and check for obstruc-
tions. The hose should be inserted no more
than 5 or 6 inches into the wall drain.
• If F2 flashes on the display, the maximum
permitted program time has been reached.
Read "Drying takes too long" in the "Trou-
bleshooting" chapter to find out what to do.
