Read this first
On the HPD line the condensate tank is the first suspect and the control board is the last. A tank that has been emptied but not pushed fully home still reads full, and the machine refuses the cycle exactly as it would with a full one.
The observations that matter
- The panel is completely dark — For every model in this family, no indicators and no response to any button, which places the fault at the supply rather than inside the machine.
- The panel lights but nothing happens on start — The control has power and has accepted the selection, so the machine is waiting on a precondition it has not been given.
- 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.
- The machine stopped mid-cycle earlier and has refused since — That pattern points at a thermal cut-out following a restriction rather than at a start fault.
- The laundry circuit also feeds other appliances — A shared circuit trips for reasons that have nothing to do with the dryer, and takes the dryer down with it.
- 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.
The causes in likelihood order
- A full condensate tank — First on the HPD 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 tripped thermal cut-out from an earlier overheat — Last because it follows a prior fault rather than standing alone: a machine run with a blocked air path can trip a cut-out that then refuses every subsequent start until it is reset by service.
The order to work in
- Empty the condensate tank and push it fully home — First on the HPD 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.
- Clear any child lock — Hold the marked button until the lock indicator clears, then try start again. The button is printed on the panel.
- Ask whether the machine stopped hot earlier — A prior thermal stop changes the diagnosis completely: the cut-out needs resetting and the restriction that caused it needs clearing.
Before you open anything
Safety
Switch off at the breaker before any panel is removed. A capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off. Leave the door catch and its wiring exactly as built.

The service boundary
Call when the tank is seated, the door latches audibly, the socket is proven, no lock or delay is set and the machine is still silent. What remains is inside the front panel. That holds across every model this page covers.
