1. Check dryer is plugged in.
2. Check "Start/Pause" button is pressed.
3. Check door is properly closed.
4. Check room temperature is not below 5°C.
5. Check a fuse is blown or the circuit breaker is tripped
and replace them. (Caution : electric dryers generally
use two fuses or breakers) After emptying the water
container and cleaning filter during operation, you
must press the Start/Pause button, then the dryer will
operate again.
1. Filter should be cleaned after each load.
2. Check water container is emptied.
3. Select correct cycle setting for fabric type.
4. Check air ventilation grill or rear vents of dryer are not
obstructed.
5. Check clothes are not excessively wet.
6. Check the dryer is not overloaded.
This is not a malfunction.
Drying time is estimated and will recalculate throughout
the cycle as it senses the dryness of the load.
Check filter is clean.
1. Check the filter is clean.
2. Check all the items in the dryer are clean.
3. Check all the laundry has been correctly sorted by
fabric type.
4. Check the dryer is not overloaded.
5. Check if there are any paper, tissues or other
degradable items amongst the laundry and remove.
The drying time for a load will vary depending on the
heat setting, the size of the load, the type of fabrics, the
wetness of the clothes and the condition of the filter.
Check the water hose or drain hose is properly
connected.
Check the dryer is not overloaded. Try a shorter drying
time and remove items whilst they still retain a slight
amount of moisture. Use the anti-crease option.
To avoid shrinkage, please follow the care and use
instructions for your garment, as some fabrics shrink
naturally when washed and should not be placed in a dryer.
Please check the filter is in the dryer.
