●Ensure that there is not a blockage in the drain hose or the hose is not kinked.

●Is the drain hose installed correctly? If connected to the sink waste make sure you have cut the membrane or removed the bung from the under sink drainage unit.

●Check for foreign bodies in the filter. If present, clean the filter. Before opening the filter, ensure that the drum is not full of water. If it is full the machine may be drained using the procedure defined on page 30.

If you have found any of the above problems correct them and run the machine through a spin cycle to drain the water.
