Warning light(s) of tumble dryer cannot be switched off

Issue

• Warning light(s) of tumble dryer cannot be switched off

Applies to

• tumble dryers

Resolution

1. Most tumble dryers have three warning LEDs (or symbols) on the control panel.

The filter LED:

• This LED is always illuminated at the end of the drying cycle and indicates that the filter should be cleaned after each drying cycle.
• The indication disappears when the appliance is switched off and on again.
• Clean the filter according to the article Cleaning dryer flters and condenser.

The water container LED (for tumble dryers with a condenser and heat pump only):

• This LED is always illuminated at the end of a drying cycle and indicates that the water tank should be emptied after each drying cycle.
• This LED is illuminated after the first drying cycle and there is no water in the water tank.
• The water will first be collected in a large container before it is pumped to the water tank.
• If the LED is still illuminated after the machine reset, or if it illuminates at the beginning of the cycle, the water is in the overflow tank.
• The condenser may need cleaning. If the dryer is connected to the drain via a hose, it may not have been connected properly, or there is a loop in the hose if the drain hose has not been shortened.

The condenser LED (for tumble dryers with a condenser and heat pump only):

• This LED indicates that the condenser should be cleaned regularly. If the appliance does not dry properly, try cleaning the condenser, filters and air ducts.
