Possible causes/Solution:
•The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.
•There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.
•The door is not closed properly.
•The 'ON/OFF' button has not been pressed.
•The 'START/RESET' button has not been pressed.
•The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
•A delayed start has been set.
•The water inlet hose is kinked.
•The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.
•The water pressure is too low.
•The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.
•There is no water supply to the house.
•The inlet valve filter is blocked.
•The 'START/RESET' button has not been pressed.
•The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor.
•The drain hose is connected incorrectly to the sink trap allowing water to run into the machine, the drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water flowing down the drain hose.
•The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down the standpipe, the 'U' bracket should be fitted 100 mm from the end of
the drain hose.
•The Pump filter is blocked.
•The “Easy iron” function is enabled: to complete the programme, press the START/RESET button (see page 11).
•The drain hose is kinked.

•The wash cycle does not include draining, some wash cycles require the drain phase to be started manually.
•The 'Spin Speed' selector knob is in the 
position.
•The 'Temperature' selector knob is in the 
position.
•Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme times accordingly (see ' The machine wont spin properly' below).
•The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.
•New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.
