The machine continuously fills with water and continually drains away or Water left in the drum
or Stuck on wash.
•The top of the drain hose is too low - It must be fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the floor (see “Installation”).
•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.
