Trouble shooting
Your washing machine could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre | EN |
(see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list. |
Problem:
The machine does not switch on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The machine does not fill with water or Indicator light for the first wash cycle flashing rapidly.
Possible causes / Solutions:
•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 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.
•The ‘DELAY TIMER’ has been selected.
•The ‘CHILD LOCK’ is activated (see ‘The machine just ‘beeps’ when a programme or option is selected’ below).
•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 machine does not spin.

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