Resolution
Check Power Supply for possible power outage
- Ensure the dryer is properly plugged in.
- Test the outlet with another device (i.e. table lamp) to confirm it’s working.
- Check the circuit breaker or fuse box for any tripped switches.
Inspect the Door
- Make sure the door is fully closed. Most dryers won’t start if the door isn’t securely shut.
- Check for any damage or misalignment in the door latch.
Control Panel or Buttons blocked
- Try pressing the power/start button firmly.
- If the panel is unresponsive, check for a child lock (padlock symbol on display) feature that may be activated.
- Disable the child lock by pressing and holding the indicated button or button combination for 3–5 seconds.

Reset the Dryer
- Unplug the dryer for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
Check the Settings
- Ensure a drying cycle is selected.
- Make sure that Delay Start mode is not activated.
Overheating Protection
- If the dryer overheated previously, it may have triggered a safety shut-off. Let it cool down for 30–60 minutes before trying again.
Filter and Condenser Check
- Clean the lint filter and the condenser. Refer to the article: Cleaning dryer filter and condenser.
- Poor airflow can prevent the dryer from operating properly.
Error Codes
- If the display shows an error code or warning symbol, refer to the user manual for its meaning and recommended action.
If the appliance is still not working contact the Authorised Service Centre.
