OVERHEAT PRO OVERHEA OVERHEA T PRO T PROTECTION TECTION TECTION
ASKO dryers are designed with an overheat
protection switch that automatically turns off the
machine if the temperature is too high. This could
happen if the lint filter or exhaust hose becomes
clogged with dust.
Should the machine turn itself off because of
overheating, first make sure the following parts are
clean and free of lint and dirt:
• lint filter and filter cover
• exhaust hose, exhaust vent and hose
• fan housing and fan
If none of these are the problem, check the
following:
• Check both 15 Amp fuses on the back of the
dryer
• Be sure the switch actuator is making contact
with the Start switch.
• On models T760 and T780 make sure a program
(P1–P4) has been chosen.
• Check for a control unit fault
• Check for a heating element fault
NOTE:
If the dryer overheats frequently, it may not be
vented properly or the room in which it is located
may not have sufficient air circulation.

start until it has cooled sufficiently.
