Resolving minor problems yourself

Experience has shown that you can resolve most problems that occur during normal daily usage yourself, without having to call out a service engineer. Not only does this save costs but it also means that the appliance is available to use. The following list of common occurrences and their remedies should help you identify the causes of most problems.

Problems when the unit is switched on

Appliance does not start up

•Fault with fuse in mains electricity supply.

•Plug not inserted in wall socket.

•Appliance door not closed properly.

•Programme button has not been pressed. Water tap not turned on.

•Blocked strainer in water intake hose.

Caution: Remember that repairs should only be carried out by a suitably qualiﬁed specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipment damage as well as danger to the user.
