Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.
- Control Panel: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and direct spraying.
- Exterior: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and sharp objects.
- Drum: Clean with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel.
- Lint Filter: Must be cleaned after every load to prevent decreased drying performance, mold, and bad odors. The filter consists of an inner and outer filter that can be unfolded, cleaned with a brush, and rinsed under running water.
- Water Tank: Must be emptied after every load to avoid leaks.
- Heat Exchanger: Clean at least once a month, or when the heat exchanger indicator lights up. This involves opening the outer cover, unlocking fixers, removing the inner cover, and cleaning the heat exchanger fins with the provided brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Care must be taken not to bend or damage the fins. The inner cover should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not touch the heat exchanger with bare hands or use water to clean it.
Troubleshooting:
The manual includes a troubleshooting section with common symptoms and recommended actions, such as:
- Dryer not running: Check door, power cord, circuit breaker, water tank, lint filter.
- Dryer not heating: Check circuit breaker, heat setting, lint filter, heat exchanger.
- Dryer not drying: Check for overload, proper sorting, draining, lint filter, heat exchanger.
- Noisy dryer: Check for foreign objects, levelness.
- Uneven drying: Check for proper sorting and loading.
- Odors: Normal for household odors to be drawn in; ensure thorough washing for strong odors.
- Wrinkled items: Small loads (1-4 items) work best; load fewer and similar items.
The manual lists various information codes that may appear on the display, along with their meanings and recommended actions:
- tC: Air temperature sensor issue (clean lint filter/heat exchanger, call service if persists).
- tC5: Compressor temperature sensor issue (wait 2-3 minutes, restart).
- dC: Dryer running with door open (close door, restart).
- HC: Compressor overheat (call service).
- 5C: Water tank full or drain pump out of order (empty water tank, restart, call service if persists).
- AC6: Communication issue between main and inverter PBAs (dryer may auto-recover, restart, call service if persists).
- 3C: Motor operation issue (try restarting, call service if persists).
- FIL+tEr (Buzzer rings): Heat exchanger needs to be cleaned (clean heat exchanger).
For any unlisted codes or persistent issues, contact a service center.
