Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see page 14), make sure the problem

can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.

Problem

The washing machine won't

start.

The washing machine does not

fill with water.

The machine continuously fills

and empties with water.

The washing machine does not

drain or spin.

The washing machine vibrates

too much during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The ON-OFF/DOOR LOCK Led

flashes rapidly at the same

time as at least one other LED.

There is too much foam.

Possible causes/Solution:

• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.

• There has been a power failure.

• The appliance door is not shut properly.

• The

button has not been pressed.

• The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

NB: It should be held minimum one second.

• The water tap is not turned on.

• A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer, see page 9).

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is bent.

• The water tap is not turned on.

• There is a water shortage.

• The water pressure is insufficient.

• The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

• The drain hose is too low or too far in to the stand pipe (see page 3)

for correct installation.

• The wall drainage system doesn't have a standard pipe (min. 38 mm).

• Some programs have a slower final spin to taked best care of the

fabrics. See page 8 for details of the final spin speed for each program.

• The programme does not foresee the draining: some programmes

require enabling the draining manually (see page 8).

• The Easy iron option is enabled: to complete the programme, press

the START/RESET button (see page 9).

• The drain hose is bent (see page 3).

• Remove the drain hose from the standpipe or under-sink trap and check for

blockages, ensuring that the water can drain freely away from the machine.

• When the machine is installed, the locking screws for the oscillating

assembly are still in place. Remove the screws (see page 2).

• The washing machine is not level (see page 2).

• The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and the wall (see page 2).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (see page 2).

• The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, see page 12).

• The drain hose is not secured properly (see page 3).

• This means there is a problem with the machine. Before calling

Assistance, please follow the set of instructions below:

1. Switch off the machine;

2. Remove the plug connecting the appliance to the mains supply

and wait for at least 40 seconds;

3. Place the plug back into the socket;

4. Switch on the machine;

5. If the problem is still evident after this process has been carried out,

contact Assistance.

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the

definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash", or the like).

• You used too much detergent.
