Check the Power Connection and Electrical Socket.
One of the most common reasons your Defy tumble dryer won’t switch on is due to a problem with either the power connection or electrical socket. First, check that the power cable isn’t damaged and, if it appears to be in working order, make sure that it is securely plugged into both the appliance and mains socket. If necessary, try using another known working connector or plugging it into a different electrical socket.
Check the Start/Stop Button.
If the power connection and electrical socket are in working order, check that the tumble dryer’s Start/Stop button is switched to the ‘on’ position. If the button has been turned off accidentally, simply move it to the ‘on’ marked in green – this should power up your Defy tumble dryer.
Check the Dryer’s Thermal Fuse.
If the Start/Stop button is on and your Defy tumble dryer still won’t switch on, then the thermal fuse may be to blame. This acts as an extra safety precaution, breaking in case of a short circuit or if the temperature inside the dryer rises too high. Check that it hasn’t blown by gently prising off its cover and checking if it has moved out of its seating slot. If this is the case, simply replace it with a new one to get your tumble dryer working again.
Inspect the Door Switch for Damage or Lint Buildup.
The door switch, located at the base of the dryer’s door, is a small electrical device that turns off the power when the door is opened. If it’s been damaged or blocked by lint and debris, your tumble dryer won’t start up. Clean away any lint and check if the switch works by pressing on it as you close and open the door. If it is broken, then you will need to replace it – speak to our service team for more help.
Reset the Control Board of Your Dryer Machine.
If cleaning the door switch has not solved the problem, it might be time to reset the control board. Unplug the tumble dryer from its power outlet, leaving it for about five minutes. Then hold down the ‘reset’ button for several seconds before plugging the dryer back into power and turning it on. This will reset any faulty settings, which should get your appliance running again!
