Catford Appliance Care · Independent guidance

Nothing happens when Start is selected.

For a tumble dryer, the sequence of events matters. This general guide helps you describe the complaint before arranging suitable work.

What the symptom may mean

Nothing happens when Start is selected may involve door closure, supply or a control setting. An engineer assesses the actual appliance; a symptom alone does not identify a component.

Useful details from ordinary use

Record whether any lights or display remain active. Separate the selected programme or control setting from the result you saw or heard. Keep the exact display message if one appeared.

Find the product, safely

Use the accessible door-frame label. Record whether the dryer is vented, condenser or heat pump if you already know.

Keep ventilation clear as described in the user instructions. Sealed refrigerant work on heat-pump dryers is outside our repair scope.

Stop if it becomes unsafe

Do not remove covers, reach into moving parts or continue using an appliance with smoke, sparking, a burning smell, water near electrical parts or repeated tripping. Do not restart it to reproduce the problem.
