Troubleshooting...
The machine will not start...
● Close the door. Check that the
machine has power. Choose a
programme and press the ‘START’
button. Check to see if a ‘Red Keyhole’
symbol is flashing in the display
window, if so, see below. If it is not,
check to see:
i)
If ‘Time Delay’ has been selected.
ii) The machine is plugged in and is
switched ‘On’.
iii) If the socket is OK. Try another
appliance in the socket to check.
iv) If the fuse in the machine plug is
OK. If not, replace it, see ‘Connect
your machine to the electrical
supply’ (see section: INSTALLING
YOUR MACHINE).
A ‘Red Keyhole’ symbol is flashing
continuously...
● Shut the door firmly, until it clicks.
The symbol should now go out.
A ‘Red Tap’ symbol is flashing...
● This means that the machine cannot
fill. Check that the water supply is
turned on and that the inlet hoses
are not kinked.
The machine bleeps 3 times upon
pressing a button...
● Check:
i)
If the ‘Child Lock’ is activated.
ii) Is a wash programme currently
running and the programme can
not be changed?
iii) The option is not available with
the selected wash programme.
The door will not open...
● Has the programme finished? Is the
‘End’ progress status light lit
and a ‘Red Keyhole’ symbol flashing?
The door will not open until the ‘Red
Keyhole’ symbol goes out shortly
after the programme has finished.
● There is still water in the machine.
Go through all the points in the next
section,‘The machine will not pump
out water...’
The machine will not pump out the
water...
● Make sure that there is no blockage in
the drain hose and that it is not
kinked.
● Is the drain hose installed correctly?
● If you have connected your machine
to a sink waste system, make sure that
you have cut out the membrane from
the under sink drainage system.
(see section: INSTALLING YOUR
MACHINE).
● Ensure that the drainage system,
standpipe or under sink connection is
free from any blockage.
- If any of the above are found to be
the cause of your problem you will
need to run the machine through a
spin only programme.
● If you have chosen ‘Rinse Hold’, the
light will flash until you press the
‘Rinse Hold’ button to continue the
programme.
The machine is leaking...
● Check the fill hoses have been
tightened at both ends? If not, tighten
them.
● Are the fill hoses tightly fitted yet still
leaking? If so, replace the rubber
washers.
● Is the standpipe or household drain
blocked? You will need to call a
plumber if you cannot clear the
blockage.
The clothes are hot at the end of the
programme...
● Check that the hoses are fitted
correctly: GREY to HOT
BLUE to COLD
I cannot read the information in the
display window...
● If the display window is not showing
the correct information, switch the
machine Off at the electric socket, wait
5 seconds and switch back on.
