Understanding this situation
Record the display or write down the choices while safe. Include any automatic-dosing, spin or continuous-mode selection that affected the laundry entering drying.
A useful next step
Follow a documented safety or recovery instruction where needed, but avoid unnecessary factory resets. Leave an unsafe machine unused. A clear record of the original state is more useful than a series of increasingly intensive programmes chosen to force a result.
Manuals and supporting guidance
Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
