The washer-dryer
does not drain or spin.
Does the selected
programme foresee water
draining? Some wash cycles
require enabling the draining
manually.
Is the “Rinse hold" function
-where provided - enabled?
This function require enabling
the draining manually.
Is the drain pump clogged?
To check it, close the tap,
unplug the washer-dryer and
follow the instructions on page
13, or call for technical
assistance.
Is the drain hose bent? The
tract of the drain hose must be
as straight as possible. Make
sure it is not squashed or bent.
Is the washer-dryer’s drain
duct clogged? Is there an
extension of the drain hose? If
so, is it positioned incorrectly,
blocking the water flow?
The washer-dryer
vibrates too much
during the spin cycle.
Has the internal floating
unit been correctly
unblocked during
installation? See the
following page on installation
procedures.
Has the washer-dryer been
levelled correctly? The
levelling of the appliance
should be checked
periodically. In time, the
machine could move
imperceptibly. Adjust the feet
and check them with a level.
Is the appliance closed in
between furniture and a
wall? If it is not a built-in
model, the washer-dryer needs
to oscillate a bit during the
spin cycle. A few cm of space
should therefore be left around
it.
The washer-dryer
leaks.
Is the metal ring of the inlet
hose properly attached?
Close the tap, unplug the
appliance and try tightening its
attachment without forcing it.
Is the detergent dispenser
obstructed? Try extracting it
and washing it under tap
water.
Is the drain hose well
attached? Close the tap,
unplug the appliance and try
tightening its attachment.
Too much foam.
Is the detergent appropriate
for machine washing? Check
whether its label reads the
definition “for machine wash”
or “hand and machine wash”,
or other similar indications.
Is the correct amount being
used? An excessive amount of
detergent, besides producing
too much foam, does not
guarantee a more effective
wash, and causes scaling in the
internal parts of the appliance.
The washer-dryer
does not dry.
Check whether:
the plug has been correctly
inserted into the socket; there
is electricity in your home; the
appliance door has been shut
properly; a delayed start (if
available) has not been selected;
programme knob A has been set
to position (Stop/Reset); the
drying cycle knob C has been
set to position 0.
The washer-dryer
doesn't dry properly.
Check whether:
the end of the drain hose is
underwater; the drain pump is
obstructed; the advice given on
the maximum loads has been
taken; the water tap has been
turned on.
If, despite all checks, the washer-
dryer fails to function and the
problem persists, call your
nearest authorised Customer
Service Centre, providing the
following information:
- the type of malfunctioning
- the model type no. (Mod. ....)
- the serial number (S/N ....)
These indications can be found
on the data plate situated on the
back of the washer-dryer.
