Issue
- Start - Pause LED flashes on tumble dryer
Applies to
- Tumble dryers
Resolution
- Check if the door is fully closed
- close the door before starting the machine
- Before you press the start/pause button on the dryer, make sure the door is completely closed.
- If the door is not completely closed, the start/pause button will simply flash and the cycle will not start.
- The Start-Pause LED also indicates that the selected cycle is finished.
- When a drying cycle is finished, all the LED's will come on. This indicates the anti-crease phase (30 minutes).
- Then, the Start-Pause LED goes off and the filter, condenser and Finished LED's come on (10 minutes).
- Finally, all the LED's will go off and the Start-Pause LED starts flashing.
- It is possible that your tumble dryer has a delayed start option enabled.
- If your product has a display, you will see the countdown to the delayed start time.
- If the product does not have a display, a light will flash next to a time symbol, e.g. 4h-8h-12h.
- If delayed start is enabled and you want to start the appliance immediately, you can disable the delayed start function.
- To disable the setting for delayed start, switch the appliance off and then switch it back on again.
- If this does not work, see the section on delayed start in the user manual for the appliance.
- You may be able to fix the problem by resetting the washing machine.
- To do this, remove the plug from the socket, wait 3 minutes and then plug it in again.
Check the power supply.
- Remove the plug from the socket
- Plug in another appliance to see if the socket works
