What MAXIMUM PROGRAM TIME means

MAXIMUM PROGRAM TIME appears on ASKO T761 and T781 dryers with an LCD, and on TD70.2 and TD70.3 models such as the T743C and T753C. On the T761 and T781 it means the drying program ran past its limit, and the owner's manual points to the fuses, the lint filter and the exhaust hose. On the TD70.2 and TD70.3, it means the cycle exceeded 200 minutes and the dryer stopped it.

Common causes of MAXIMUM PROGRAM TIME

A blown fuse or a tripped breaker feeding the dryer
A lint filter clogged with lint
A blocked or crushed exhaust hose on the T761
Poor condensation or airflow on the TD70.2 and TD70.3 models

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check that both fuses for the dryer are intact. 2. Clean the lint filter. 3. On the T761, make sure the exhaust hose is clear. 4. Turn the power off and on to clear the message, then restart. If it returns, schedule service.

! Why to stop there

Whether airflow through the whole vent path is clear
Whether the heating and sensing parts are working together
Whether the cycle time is caused by the dryer or by very wet loads

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

MAXIMUM PROGRAM TIMEMAXIMUM PROGRAM TIME questions

What does MAXIMUM PROGRAM TIME mean?

It means the drying program ran longer than the dryer allows, so it stopped the cycle. The usual reasons are fuses, a clogged lint filter or restricted airflow.

Do the T761 and T781 differ from the TD70 models?

Slightly. The T761 and T781 list fuses, the lint filter and the hose. The TD70.2 and TD70.3 stop at 200 minutes, which points to condensation or airflow.
