The washing machine fails to fill with water.

Is the hose correctly connected to the tap?

Is there a water shortage ?

There could be work in progress in your building or street.

Is there sufficient water pressure? The autoclave may be malfunctioning.

Is the tap filter clean? If the water is very calcareous, or if work has recently been carried out on the water piping, the tap filter could be clogged with particles and debris.

Is the rubber hose kinked? The tract of the rubber hose bringing water to washing machine must be as straight as possible. Make sure it is not squashed or kinked.

The programme selector knob keeps turning?

Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to empty the tub, switch the washer off,

The washing machine continuously fills and drains water.

Is the drain hose positioned too low? It must be installed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm.

Is the end of the hose immersed in water?

Does the wall drainage system have a breather pipe? If the problem persists even after these checks, turn the water supply off the machine and call for assistance.

If you live on an upper floor of your building, there may be a problem with your drain trap.

To solve this problem, a special valve must be installed.
