What this means on this line
No-start on the BDPB line runs through a short chain: supply, door latch, tank level, child lock, delay setting. The machine gives the same silence for each, and every link in the chain is an owner check on these cabinets.
Symptoms on these models
- A delay indicator is lit — For every model in this family, the programme has been accepted and deferred, so the machine is behaving correctly and will start later than expected.
- The tank was emptied and the indicator stayed lit — The float reads the tank in its seated position, so a tank pushed back only part way reports full however recently it was drained.
- A garment is visible in the door seal — A trapped corner of fabric holds the door a few millimetres proud, which is enough for the catch to miss. It does not vary across the models listed on this page.
- NEAR MISS: the machine runs but leaves the load damp — That is a drying fault and the heating-failure page for this family covers it.
Why it happens, in order
- A full condensate tank — First on the BDPB line because the machine refuses a cycle outright when the float reads full, and because a tank emptied but not pushed fully home leaves the float reading full anyway. This applies to the whole line rather than to one model.
- The door not latching — Second because a garment caught in the seal or a slightly dropped door stops the catch engaging, while the panel stays lit because the display is upstream of the latch circuit. The same is true of each model covered here.
- No supply at the socket or a tripped breaker — Free to check and common where a laundry space shares a circuit, so an unrelated appliance may have tripped it.
- Child lock or control lock armed — A long press arms it and a wiped panel sets it by accident. The machine then acknowledges a press and refuses the cycle, which reads as a failed start button.
- A failed door switch — Last because it is uncommon and because a trapped garment, a dropped door and a worn catch all produce the same refusal at no cost to exclude.
What to check first, second, third
- Empty the condensate tank and push it fully home — First on the BDPB line because a tank that is emptied but not seated leaves the float reading full, and the machine behaves identically to one that was never emptied. The models in the table behave the same way here.
- Close the door firmly and listen for the catch — Second: a garment trapped in the seal is the usual obstruction and it is invisible once the door is pushed against it.
- Prove the socket with another appliance — Third, because it separates the machine from the circuit in seconds and shared laundry circuits trip for unrelated reasons. That is true of every model this family spans.
- Remove the tank completely and reseat it firmly — Not just empty it. The float reads position as well as level, and a partly seated tank reports full.
- Open the door fully and run a hand around the seal — A trapped corner of fabric is invisible once the door is pressed against it and is the usual reason a catch misses.
Before anything comes apart
Safety
Switch off at the breaker first; stored charge can remain after the supply is cut. If the machine has tripped its circuit more than once, leave the breaker off and have it looked at rather than resetting it again.

When this becomes a service call
Book service when the machine is silent with a proven supply and a latched door, when it trips the breaker on every attempt, or when it stopped during a cycle while hot and has refused to start since. That holds across every model this page covers.
