TROUBLESHOOTING If you experience a problem with your dryer, you should review the following list of frequently encountered situations. It could save you the cost and inconvenience of a service call. Even though the product is under warranty, if the problem is not caused by defective product workmanship or materials, you will be charged for a service call. Refer to page 15 to determine what is and is not covered under your warranty. If you're still not sure, contact the ASKO Advisory Center before you call a serviceman. The machine won't start. ♦ Make sure the door is closed securely. ♦ Make sure the Power is turned on. ♦ Check that you set the program or time correctly. ♦ Check that the electric plug is securely in the socket. ♦ Check the house breaker/fuses and the fuses on the back of the dryer. ♦ If all of the above options are eliminated, the overheat protection has probably been activated. (See below.) The machine starts but it stops when I release the power button. ♦ The overheating protection has probably activated. Clean the lint filter and let the machine cool down before trying again. (See below.) The machine takes too long to dry my laundry. ♦ Check that the lint filter is clean. ♦ If you use dryer sheets (not recommended), you may need to wash the lint filter with warm water and a soft brush to clean any blocked holes. ♦ Be careful not to overload the dryer because the warm air needs sufficient room to circulate properly OVERHEAT PROTECTION ASKO dryers are designed with an overheat protection switch that automatically turns off the machine if the temperature is too high. This could happen if the lint filter or exhaust hose becomes clogged with dust. Should the machine turn itself off because of overheating, make sure the lint filter and exhaust hose and vent duct are clean. If the overheat protection switch is activated, you have to reset it before the machine will run. To do this, press the reset button (rubber disk) on the back of the machine, as illustrated to the right. You should hear a click when it engages. The machine will not start until it has cooled sufficiently. ENERGY SAVING TIPS ♦ Dry consecutive loads to avoid reheating the dryer. ♦ Do not overload the dryer. ♦ Use the highest spin speeds allowed for the garments. ♦ Do not put extremely wet clothes into the dryer. Page 6 and the clothes need room to tumble freely. ♦ The laundry should only be damp when it comes out of the washer. If it seems too wet, try using a faster or longer spin cycle. ♦ Make sure the outside vent exhaust is not blocked. My clothes are coming out wrinkled. ♦ You should remove the clothes as soon as the dryer signals the end of the cycle. If you can't remove the clothes right away, use the Anti-crease option. ♦ Dry heavy fabrics together and light fabrics together. ♦ Dry only permanent press items together. ♦ Dry in smaller loads. ♦ Use slower spin speeds. ♦ Use fabric softener in the rinse program. ♦ You may be using the wrong wash temperature. Try using a lower wash temperature, especially for permanent press and delicate items. The motor is running but the drum isn't turning. ♦ This usually means a belt is broken. Call a servicer. The machine makes a funny noise. ♦ A slight rumbling may be heard when you first turn on the dryer. This is normal and it should only last a few seconds. Press the reset button to start the machine. NOTE: If your dryer overheats frequently, it may not be vented properly or the room in which it is located may not have sufficient air circulation. Contact an installer to have these issues checked out. ♦ Dry like fabrics together (i.e., heavy fabrics together, light fabrics together). ♦ Clean the lint filter after each load. ♦ Do not overdry clothes when using the timed program. ♦ Spin the clothes at no less than 800 rpm.
