Tumble dryer · Safety, controls and fault evidence

Should a factory reset be the first response to poor drying?

No. A reset can remove settings without addressing load suitability, maintenance or a technical fault. Start by identifying the actual programme and changed result.

Understanding this situation

Use the exact manufacturer's troubleshooting guidance. An undocumented reset sequence can alter features or erase useful evidence, and it cannot make a dryer with burning or electrical symptoms safe.

A useful next step

Record the original display and settings before any permitted reset. Follow stop-use instructions where relevant. If appropriate maintenance does not resolve the concern, arrange assessment rather than repeatedly returning every preference to factory defaults.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
