Problem Solving Guide - Miele Novotronic T 1520 Operating Manual

Problem solving guide

Electrical appliances should only be repaired by qualified personnel. Incor-
rectly repaired machines may put the user at risk. There are, however, minor
problems which can be corrected without contacting the Service Department.
What to do if, . . . ?
. . . the tumble dryer fails to
start when turned on?
. . . the laundry is not suffi-
ciently dry?
. . . the drying times are too
long?
. . . the "anti-crease" indicator
lamp in the sequence indica-
tor display starts flashing?
Cause . . .
Check whether the "On"
indicator lights up. If so, failure
to start may be due to an
incorrect program selection
procedure.
If the "On" indicator lamp does
not illuminate, check that:
The load consists of dissimilar
items (size and fabrics).
Small loads or individual items
may cause the program to
terminate the cycle prematurely.
The lint filter is clogged.
The laundry was not spun in the
washer for a sufficient time.
Problem solving guide
Remedy . . .
Repeat the switch-on procedure
in the correct sequence, as
outlined in the "Program
Selection" chapter.
– The "ON/OFF" button is
depressed.
– The door is properly closed.
– The machine is plugged in
and the fuse or circuit breaker
has not tripped.
Select a longer drying program.
Small loads can be time-dried.
Clean the lint filter in the door.
Make sure that the laundry is
thoroughly spun before drying.
– Turn the program selector
to "finish".
– Turn the machine off and
then on again.
– Select a program.
– Press the "Start" button.
If the indicator lamp starts
flashing again, this indicates a
fault in the machine.
