The electronic unit and drainage and overflow protection

Drainage protection

Any leaking water is collected in the sump  in the base of the machine. A float switch  closes the solenoid valves , preventing any more water from flowing into the machine and water in the suds container is pum‐ ped away.

Overflow protection

If the water level exceeds a certain level, the drain pump  switches in and pumps the excess water away in a controlled manner.

Should the water level rise repeatedly in an uncontrolled way, the drain pump  will switch on continuously, the washing machine will indicate that there is a fault and a tone will sound.

Drain hose

The drain hose is protected by a venti‐ lation system which prevents the wash‐ ing machine from being emptied com‐ pletely.
