Problem:

Possible causes / Solutions:

 

 

The machine does not switch on.

The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.

There is no power to the socket, or the fuse has blown in the mains plug.

The wash cycle does not start.

The door is not closed properly.

The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.

A delayed start has been set.

The machine does not dry.

Check the 2 sections above.

All the drying indicator lights are switched off.

The clothes are too hot when the drying cycle is finished.

A cooling-down period is always added to the end of each drying cycle. If the clothes appear too hot to handle leave the door open to allow to cool further before removing from the machine.

The machine does not fill with wa- ter or the indicator light for the first wash cycle stage flashes rapidly.

The water inlet hose is kinked.

The water inlet hose is not connected to the water supply.

The water pressure is too low.

The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the machine.

There is no water supply to the house.

The inlet valve filter is blocked.

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

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.

The machine does not drain or spin (error lights flashing).

The Pump filter is blocked.

The drain hose is kinked (see “Installation”).

New Installation - The blanking cap or spigot has not been removed if connected under a sink.

The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.

The machine does not drain or spin

-‘EASY IRON’ & ‘START/PAUSE’ indicator lights flash.

If the ‘EASY IRON’ option is enabled, at the end of the program the machine drum will rotate slowly. To complete the program press the ‘START/PAUSE’ or the ‘EASY IRON’ buttons.

If the ‘DELICATES’ programs are selected, at the end of the program it requires the drain phase to be started. To complete the program press the ‘START/PAUSE’ or the ‘EASY IRON’ buttons.

The wash programme takes too long.

The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle.

Programme times will vary due to water pressure, the incoming water temperature and if the wash load goes out of balance. This will increase the programme times accordingly (see ‘ The machine wont spin properly’ below) - (Most Common Cause!).

The feet have not been adjusted, enabling the machine to rock.

New Installation - Either the Transit Bolts including the plastic spacers, or the Polystyrene Packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.

The machine is trapped between cabinets and/or walls.

The load is in a slight out of balance condition and machine is spinning, but at a lower speed.
