The washing machine does not drain or spin.

The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

Possible causes / Solutions:

•The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.

•There is no power in the house.

•The washing machine door is not closed properly.

If the problem persists even after these checks, shut off the water tap, switch the appliance off and contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to avoid this inconvenience.

•The drip-tray system is full. Clean the sponge or replace it (see "Precautions and advice").

•Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again. The wash cycle will have to be started again from the beginning. If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

•The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear the description “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash”, or similar instructions).
