The machine will not start…

●Close the door. Check that there is power to the machine. Select a programme and press START. Check if the door locked light is illuminated.

If it is not, check the following:

1.Is the machine connected to the electrical supply?

2.Is the electrical supply OK, check another socket?

3.Has the fuse on the machine blown? If so, replace it.

●If the door locked light is illuminated and the machine does not start this means that the machine cannot fill with water, check the following:

1.Check the programme dial is correctly aligned with the programme.

2.Is the water supply to the machine switched on?

3.Are the pipes kinked or restricted in any way?

Water does not drain away…

●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.

Water on the floor around the washing machine….

●Is the fill hose tightened? If so, replace the rubber washers and re-tighten.

●Water has not drained from the machine? Check the points highlighted above.

●Is the load unbalanced? To reduce noise and vibration and improve the machine’s reliability and life, the machine is fitted with an electronic sensor that detects if the load is unbalanced. To improve the spin performance the load can be re-distributed by hand at the end of the cycle and then re-spun.

The machine is noisy or vibrates a lot during the cycle…

●Has the transit system been fully removed? Check that the bracket and the polystyrene packing have been taken off the machine.
