6 Solución de problemas

If you experience issues with your dryer, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• A secadora non arranca: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check the circuit breaker. Make sure the door is fully closed.
• A roupa non se seca completamente: Check if the lint filter is clean. Ensure the dryer is not overloaded. Verify that the correct drying program and temperature are selected. Confirm the exhaust duct is not blocked.
• Ruído inusual: Check for foreign objects in the drum. Ensure the dryer is on a level surface. If a squealing noise occurs, it may indicate wear on the drive belt due to a sharp edge on the internal sheet metal beam. This may require professional attention or a modification to dull the edge.
• Sobrequecemento: The dryer has overheat protection. If it overheats, it may shut off automatically. Ensure proper ventilation and a clean lint filter.
