Possible Causes

Faulty Start button or touchpad, Door not detected as closed, Child lock function active

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the control panel.

  • Check display messages: Look for child lock or door warnings. Disable the child lock according to the user manual.
  • Confirm door closure: Ensure the door is firmly shut and the latch engages. Replace worn catches.
  • Test Start button: Try pressing Start firmly and repeatedly. If it feels loose or unresponsive, the switch may be faulty.
  • Inspect control fascia: Remove the control panel and check the Start switch or touchpad connections. Replace the user interface board if the switch has failed.
