Troubleshooting
Problem:
The machine won’t start?
The wash cycle won’t
start?
The machine fails to fill
with water?
The machine continuously
fills with water and drains?
The machine does not
drain or spin?
The machine vibrates too
much during the spin
cycle?
The machine leaks?
There is too much foam?
The ON-OFF/DOOR
LOCKED LED flashes
rapidly at the same time as
at least one other LED?
Possible causes / Solution:
●
The appliance is not fully plugged into the socket.
●
There has been a power failure.
●
The appliance door is not shut properly.
●
The button has not been pressed, for at least 2 seconds.
●
The START/RESET button has not been pressed, for at least 2 seconds.
●
The water tap is not turned on.
●
A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Timer,
see Personalisation
).
●
The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
●
The hose is kinked.
●
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, for at least 2 seconds.
●
The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100cm from the floor (
see Installation
).
●
The free end of the hose is underwater (
see Installation
).
●
The wall drainage system doesn’t have a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch
the appliance off and call for assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper
floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing
machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an
inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
●
If the machine was unable to balance the load it will use a slow spin rather
than risk machine damage; the clothes might appear wetter than expected.
●
The Easy Iron option is enabled: to complete the programme, press the
START/RESET button (
see Personalisation
).
●
The drain hose is bent (
see Installation
).
●
The drain duct is clogged.
●
Your machine is fitted with a filter system for the pump - This filter may have
become blocked (
see Care and Maintenance
for details of how to remove
any blockage from the pump filter).
●
Has the SPIN SPEED knob been set to ‘No Spin’ ? (
see Personalisation
).
●
The transit bolts were not removed correctly (
see Installation
).
●
The washing machine is not level (
see Installation
).
●
The washing machine is closed in, between furniture cabinets and the
wall (
see Installation
).
●
The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly (
see installation
).
●
The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it,
see Detergent and Laundry
).
●
The drain hose is not secured properly (
see Installation)
.
●
The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the
definition “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, etc).
●
You used too much detergent.
●
Call for assistance because this means there is an error.
