Before calling, read the following
Troubleshooting
In most cases, when your washing machine fails to work, the problems
arising can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before
calling for assistance, always check these points.
The washing machine
fails to start.
Is the plug correctly
inserted into the socket? It
could have been moved whilst
cleaning.
Is there electricity in the
house?
A circuit breaker may have
switched off as a result of too
many electrical appliances
working at the same time. Or
maybe due to a general failure
in your entire area.
Is the washing machine door
closed properly?
For safety reasons, the
washing machine cannot work
if the door is open or not shut
properly.
Is the On/Off button
pressed?
If it is, then a programmed
start has been set.
Is the programmed start
knob, in the correct position
for those models concerned?
Is the water supply turned
on? For safety reasons, if the
washing machine does not
load water, it cannot start a
wash cycle.
RIGHT
WRONG
Turn off the water
supply after use.
This will eliminate
the possibility of
leakage.
Always leave the
appliance door
ajar to avoid bad
odours.
Clean the
appliance’s
exteriors gently.
To clean the
exteriors and the
rubber parts of
the appliance,
always use a soft
cloth dipped in
warm and soapy
water.
Leave the washing
machine plugged in
while cleaning.
Even during mainte-
nance, the appliance
should always be
unplugged.
Use solvents and
aggressive abrasives.
Never use solvents or
abrasives to clean the
external and rubber
parts of the washing
machine.
Neglect the detergent
dispenser.
It is removable and
can easily be cleaned
by leaving it under
running water.
Go on holiday without
thinking about her.
Before leaving, always
make sure that the
washing machine is
unplugged and that
the water supply is
turned off.
The washing machine
fails to fill with
water.
Is the hose correctly
connected to the tap?
Is there a water shortage ?
There could be work in
progress in your building or
street.
Is there sufficient water
pressure? The autoclave may
be malfunctioning.
Is the tap filter clean? If the
water is very calcareous, or if
work has recently been carried
out on the water piping, the tap
filter could be clogged with
particles and debris.
Is the rubber hose kinked?
The tract of the rubber hose
bringing water to washing
machine must be as straight as
possible. Make sure it is not
squashed or kinked.
The programme
selector knob keeps
turning?
Wait a few minutes for the
drain pump to empty the tub,
switch Margherita off, select
one of the symbols stop/reset
, then switch it back on. If
the knob continues to turn, call
for assistance because it is
showing an anomaly.
The washing machine
continuously fills and
drains water.
Is the drain hose
positioned too low? It must
be installed at a height ranging
from 60 to 100 cm.
Is the end of the hose
immersed in water?
Does the wall drainage
system have a breather
pipe? If the problem persists
even after these checks, turn
the water supply off the
machine and call for
assistance.
If you live on an upper floor of
your building, there may be a
problem with your drain trap.
To solve this problem, a special
valve must be installed.

Simple: with the new Ariston technology, you need less than
half of it, to get good results on twice as much!
This is why you cannot see the water through the door:
because there is little, very little of it, to respect the
environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness.
And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.
But where did all the water go?
