Something Wrong with Your Dryer
Before calling a service engineer check through the following list – it could save a lot of time and
trouble.
Symptom
It won't start
It takes longer than normal to dry
Any other problem
If you have been through the above and there is still a problem, call your nearest Service Office.
Although the office may be some distance from you, the engineer may be local and prompt
service will be arranged. Should the engineer find nothing is wrong with the Dryer a charge will
have to be made for the service call.
Note: Our Engineer will use every effort to avoid damage to floor coverings and
adjacent units when carrying out repairs/service work but in locations where the Engineer
advises you that it will be impossible to move the appliance without risk of damage, he will only
proceed with your approval that no liability is accepted.
After use switch off the electricity at the wall socket and remove the
plug.
Occasionally wipe inside the drum and outside the cabinet with a damp
cloth.
Never use abrasive or chemical cleaners which can damage plastics and
paint work.
Do not allow lint to collect around the dryer.
It is essential that the lint is removed from the filter every time the
dryer is used.
Failure to do this will result in poor drying performance and may
lead to mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Occasionally wash the filter in tepid water and lightly use an old
toothbrush to remove any lint present after normal cleaning.
Ensure filter is completely dry before re-using.
Your tumble dryer uses special bearing components. Lubrication by the
user is not necessary and must not be attempted.
Check
Is the timer set?
Is the door closed?
Has the fuse in the plug or circuit blown?
Are the wires in the plug properly secured?
Is the filter clean? (See page 9)
Is the drum overloaded? (See page 8)
Is either the air inlet or outlet obstructed?
Has the correct heat setting been selected?
Have you re-read the instruction book?
