Use a general guide to understand the idea. For button presses, limits and model-specific settings, the manual for your exact model comes first.

Common questions
Before you start
Stop if you notice burning smells, smoke, sparks, repeated electrical tripping, a serious leak, damaged wiring or unusual heat. Disconnect it only if you can do so safely.
Features, capacities and instructions vary by model. Always follow the rating label, garment or cookware instructions, and the official manufacturer manual.
Understand the drying result before assuming a fault
Drying time depends on fabric type, load size, the washer?s final spin, selected dryness level and airflow. Start with the settings guide when clothes are unevenly dry or a programme ends earlier or later than expected. Check the exact manual for filter, condenser or heat-exchanger care because access and cleaning methods differ between vented, condenser and heat-pump models.
Signs that need more than a settings change
Stop using the dryer for smoke, burning smell, damaged wiring, repeated electrical tripping or unusual extreme heat. Persistent lack of heat, drum movement problems or repeated stopping despite a suitable load and clean user-accessible filters needs diagnosis. The dryer repair page explains the booking and inspection process.
Before booking, record whether the dryer is vented, condenser or heat-pump type, whether the drum turns, and whether any code appears. Also note the programme, load and point where operation changes.
