What does Programme does not start mean?

When you try to start a drying programme, the dryer does not begin its operation. This can be caused by various issues related to power supply, the appliance being switched off, or the door not being properly closed.

Common Causes

  • The tumble dryer is not properly connected to the mains power supply.
  • The dryer has not been switched on.
  • The dryer door is not securely closed.
  • A mains fuse has tripped, or there has been a power cut.
