TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Depending on the model, your washing machine is equipped with various automatic safety functions. This

enables faults to be detected in good time and the safety system can react appropriately. These faults are

frequently so minor that they can be removed within few minutes.

Problem Causes, Solutions, Tips

The washing machine will

not start, no indicator

lamps are on

Check whether:

• The mains plug is inserted in socket.

• The wall socket is functionally correctly (use a table lamp or similar appliance

to test it).

The washing machine will

not start...and the “Start/

Pause” indicator lamp

flashes

• The door is not properly closed (“Child safety”).

• The “Start/Pause” button has been pressed.

• The “Water tap closed” indication lights up. Open the water tap and press the

“Start/Pause” button.

The washing machine stops

during the programme

(varies depending on

model)

• The “Rinse hold” indicator lamp lights up: press the “Start/Pause” button to

start the “Spin” programme.

• Another programme has been selected and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp

is flashing. Reselect the desired programme and press the “Start/Pause”

button.

• The door has been opened and the “Start/Pause” indicator lamp is flashing.

Close the door and press the “Start/Pause” button again.

• Check if there is much foam inside, machine enters kill-foam routine.The

machine will run again automatically after a period.

• The washing machine’s safety system has been activated (see “Fault

description table”).

Residues from detergent

and additives left in the

detergent drawer at end of

wash

• The cover grid of the softener chamber and the separator of the main wash

chamber are correctly installed in the detergent dispenser and all parts are

clean (see “Care and Maintenance”).

• Sufficient water is entering. The mesh filters of the water supply could be

blocked (see “Care and Maintenance”).

• The position of the separator in the main wash chamber is adapted to the use

of powder or liquid detergent (see “Detergent and Additives”).

Machine vibrates during

spin cycle

• The washing machine is level and standing firmly on all four feet.

• The transport bolts have been removed. Before using the machine, it is

imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

Final spin results are poor The washing machine has an imbalance detection and correction system. If

individual heavy items are loaded (e.g bathrobes), this system may reduce the

spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely if it detects to

great an imbalance even after several spin starts, in order to protect the washing

machine.

• If the laundry is still

too wet at the end of the cycle, add smaller articles of

laundry and repeat the spin cycle.

• Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. Use the correct amount of

detergent.

• Check that the spin speed selector has not been set to “0”.

If your washing machine

has a time display: the

programme time initially

displayed is lengthened /

shortened by a period of

time

This is a normal capacity of the washing machine to adapt to factors that can

have an effect on the wash programme time, e.g;.

• Excess foam formation.

• Load imbalance due to heavy items of laundry.

• Prolonged heating time due to reduced inlet water temperature.

Because of influence like these, the time remaining in the programme run is

recalculated, and updated if necessary. In addition, during the filling phase, the

washing machine determines the load and if necessary adjust the initial

programme time displayed accordingly. During such update periods, an

animation appears on the time display.
