Problems which you can resolve yourself

■
Check that the machine is plugged in and that
there is power at the socket.
■ Check that the main fuse has not blown.
■
Check that the programme selector dial is posi-
tioned correctly and the ON/OFF button de-
pressed.
The machine does not fill:
■ Check that the water tap is open.
■
Check that water is coming out of the tap.
■ Check that the inlet hose is not squashed or
kinked.
■
Check that the filter in the inlet hose is not blocked.
■ Check that the door is closed.
The machine fills then empties immedi-
ately:
■
The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to rele-
vant paragraph in “water drainage” section.
The machine does not empty and/or does
not spin:
■ Check that the drain hose is not squashed or
kinked.
■
The drain filter is blocked. Clean it.
■ A gentle programme has been selected (the water
remains in the tub after the last rinse).
■ The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the
clothes inside the drum to allow the machine to
spin.
There is water on the floor:
■ Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (cre-
ates 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.
■
Check that the drain hose is not damaged.
■ Check that the drain filter has been refitted correct-
ly after cleaning.
