User Warnings

Your dryer is capable of diagnosing a number of its own problems. It will sound a continuous series of beeps and display a user prompt when it has a problem that you can correct yourself. To stop the beeps sounding, touch any button on the control panel. Do not try to continue your drying cycle once you stop the noise. You must address the problem the dryer is alerting you to.

Check the below table before you call for service.

Notification	What to do
KEYLOCK ON	Touch and hold the button for three seconds to deactivate the Keylock.
CLEAN FILTERS AND EVAPORATOR GRID	Clean lint and condenser filters and carefully vacuum the evaporator grid.
	Check the lint filter or condenser filter are not damaged.
	Check there is nothing else stuck in the filters or evaporator grid, which may be blocking the air flow.
	Check the filters are correctly in place in your dryer.
WATER TANK	Check if the water tank is full.
	Empty the water tank.
	If using the drain hose, check whether the water tank or drain hose is blocked.
