Before you begin

How a healthy dryer should behave

When you place a wet swimsuit into the dryer and press the lid down, all of the following should happen:

Normal operation checklist
LED
Glows noticeably brighter when lid is pressed
Noise
Quiet whooshing sound — no rattling or grinding
Duration
Runs up to 10 seconds, then stops automatically
Vibration
No excessive vibration or loud mechanical noise
Finished
Basket stops and stays still when lid is lifted
After use
LED dims back to steady constant glow on standby
Normal operation — what your dryer should look and sound like
Watch first
Troubleshooting your Swimsuit Dryer

Before working through the fault panels below, watch this guide. It covers the most common issues and may resolve your fault without any further steps.


Step 1

Identify your fault

Select the symptom that best matches what your dryer is doing. The troubleshooting steps will appear below.

Fault A No LED on — dryer does not operate
Possible causes
No power to unit RCD / GFCI switched off Blown PCB fuse PCB fault
1
Press the lid down
If the machine spins normally but only the LED is dark, the LED component has failed and will need replacing.
Part required: P30 LED
2
Check the RCD / GFCI underneath the dryer
For an RCD: confirm it is in the "ON" position, then press the "Test" button.

For a GFCI: press the "Reset" button.

After pressing, the RCD/GFCI should click and switch itself off. If it does not switch off, the unit has no external power — check your wall supply.
If neither button causes a click, check your mains supply before proceeding.
3
RCD / GFCI trips but LED is still off
The fault may lie on the PCB. Have a licensed electrician test the DC output using a voltmeter, or contact us for technical guidance.
Relevant parts
P87 — Integrated PCB P86 — GFCI (110–120V) P57 — RCD (220–240V)
Video guide — Fault A
Watch: Front LED is not on
Fault B LED on but does not brighten when lid is pressed
Possible causes
Missing proximity magnets Blown PCB fuse Faulty PCB Internal proximity loom failed
1
Check the magnets behind the lid
Remove the instruction card from the lid and inspect the inside to confirm the proximity magnets are present and correctly seated.
2
Check the magnet under the top cover
Remove the top cover, turn it upside down, and confirm the magnet is still in position.
Take a photo of the underside of the top cover and send it to us — we can confirm if the magnet is correctly seated.
3
Electricians only
Check the fuses on the PCB
Remove the PCB cover at the back of the dryer and inspect all fuses for signs of failure.
4
Electricians only
Link out the 12V circuit to test the PCB
Contact us for technical wiring instructions to link out the 12V circuit and determine whether the PCB is faulty.
Do not attempt without qualified electrical knowledge and our technical documentation.
Relevant parts
P87 — Integrated PCB P86 — GFCI (110–120V) P57 — RCD (220–240V)
Video guide — Fault B
Watch: LED on but does not glow brighter
Fault C LED glows brighter but basket does not spin
Possible causes
Basket blocked by foreign object Blown PCB fuse Faulty PCB Motor capacitor failed Motor seized Brake clutch failed
1
Remove the top cover and inspect the basket
Check inside the liner for coins, hair ties, or garment clips that may be preventing the basket from rotating. Remove anything found and test again.
2
Electricians only
Inspect the PCB indicator LEDs
Remove the PCB cover at the back of the dryer. Connect to power and observe the three small LEDs on the board:

Top LED — should light up when the lid is pressed
Middle LED — should remain off; if flashing, the motor requires replacing
Bottom LED — should flash once per second; constant or absent = PCB fault
Do not touch any cables or components while the machine is connected to power.
Relevant parts
P87 — Integrated PCB Motor assembly Motor capacitor Brake clutch
Video guide — Fault C
Watch: Front LED glows brighter, no spin

Frequently asked questions

Repair & warranty FAQs

Common questions about repairs, costs, and what to expect when you contact us.

Yes. We provide a 12-month labour warranty and a 2-year warranty on any electrical parts fitted during the repair.

Warranty does not cover shipping costs or labour if the unit was returned with a different faulty part. If your Swimsuit Dryer is over 5 years old, we may recommend replacement rather than repair.

The cost depends on what is required. Our products are designed to be robust, durable, and simple. We ask four questions to help determine the fault and provide the most accurate quotation possible.

Please note: if those questions are not answered correctly, or additional items are found to be required, the final cost may be higher than the initial estimate.

If your unit is less than 5 years old and there is no excessive water damage to the motor, this component will typically not need replacing.
