The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the

There is water on the floor

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too

 

 

much foam).

 

Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose(s) fittings.

to see if it is damp.

The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.

 

The drainage system pipes are blocked.

 

 

 

Unsatisfactory washing results

insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and

 

 

causes lime scale to form.

The correct wash programme has not been selected.

 

Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.

The internal packing has not been removed.

 

The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

 

The machine is not stable and level (check diagonally).
