Troubleshooting
Possible causes / Solutions:
• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or it has
not been inserted far enough to make contact.
• There is no power in the house.
• The porthole door has not been shut properly.
• The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

25” - 34” inches (62 and 86 cm) from the floor (see “Installation”).
• The free end of the hose is underwater (see “Installation”).
• If If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there

draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this
inconvenience.

• The programme does not include a draining phase: some
programs require manual draining (see “Programmes and
options”).

the START/RESET button (see “Programs and options”).
• The outlet hose is bent (see “Installation”).
• The drainage duct is clogged.
• The drum was not unlocked properly when the appliance was
installed. Remove shipping bolts (see “Installation”).
• The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).
• The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and a wall
(see “Installation”).
• The load is not balanced properly (see “Operating the washing
machine”).
• The water inlet hose is not screwed on to the tap correctly (see
“Installation”).
• The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for instructions on
how to clean it, see “Care and maintenance”).
• The outlet hose has not been secured properly (see
“Installation”).
• Switch off the machine and unplug the appliance; wait for
approximately 1 minute then switch it on again.
