Something not working?

If during the spin cycle the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the noise made by tradi- tional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor.

If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing machines that use less water than traditional machines.

Troubleshooting

If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below.

If you call out an engineer when one of the following problems aris- es, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the call-out will be charged even if requested within the guarantee period.

During machine operation the following alarm codes may be displayed:

-E10: problem with the water supply

-E20: problem with water draining

-E40: door open

An acoustic signal is clearly audible.

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all checks, the problem persists, con- tact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.
