Problem

Possible cause

• The machine does not start up:

• The door is not firmly closed.
• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power

at the socket.

• The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.
• The START/PAUSE button has not been

depressed.

correctly.

• The machine does not fill:

• The water tap is closed.
• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.
• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.

• The machine fills then empties

immediately:

and/or does not spin:

• The drain hose is squashed or kinked.
• The option Rinse Hold has been selected.
• The drain pump is clogged.
• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• There is water on the floor:

• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent

(creates too much foam) has been used.

• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the

inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this
as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it
is damp.

• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not

been replaced after cleaning the filter.

• The pump has not been fully screwed in after

cleaning.

noisy:

removed.

Problems which you can resolve yourself.

During machine operation it is possible that one of the End light starts to flash:
4 flashes= the door has not been closed
2 flashes= the machine does not empty
1 flash= the machine does not fill.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
