Cycle won't start

The dryer cycle doesn't start

Doesn't the dryer cycle start? Try these tips:

  • Check if the function 'delayed start' is turned on, and turn it off.
  • Tightly close the door of the dryer.
  • Check if the door pin is broken. You use it to lick the door open or closed. If this doesn't work, the part needs to be replaced.
  • Empty the water tank. You can read how to do that in the manual.
Cycle stops

The dryer cycle stops

If the cycle stops right away after you start it, there might be too little clothes in the drum. The dryer measures can't measure the amount of clothes correctly. Put enough laundry in the drum if you choose an automatic cycle. For small loads of laundry, you use a time cycle.

Takes longer

The dryer cycle takes a long time

Does the cycle take longer than indicated in the manual or on the display? Follow these tips:

  • Spin the laundry well in the washing machine before you put it in the dryer.
  • Don't put more laundry in the dryer than the maximum load capacity.
  • Choose the right dryer cycle. Check the manual for which cycle you need.
  • Make sure the ambient temperature of the dryer is between 5 and 35°C.
  • Clean the dryer and filter regularly according to the manual.
