TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Your washing machine is equipped with various automatic safety functions. These enable 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 a few minutes.

Problem Causes, Solutions, Tips

Appliance does not start,

no indicator lamps are on

•

Plug is not properly inserted in socket.

•

Socket or fuse does not function correctly (use a table lamp or similar

appliance to test it).

•

the “On/Off” button has not been pressed (if available on your model).

Appliance does not start

although “Start/Pause” has

been pressed

•

Door is not properly closed (see also “

Child Safety

”).

•

The “Child lock/Lock buttons” feature has been activated (if available

on your model). To unlock the buttons, push the temperature and the spin

speed button simultaneously and hold them at least for 3 seconds. The key

symbol on the display disappears and the programme can be started.

Appliance stops during the

programme, and the “Start/

Pause” light flashes

•

“Rinse hold” option is activated (if available on your model) and the “Rinse hold”

symbol lights up in the programme sequence indicator - terminate “Rinse

hold” by pressing

“Start/Pause”

or by choosing and starting “Drain” programme.

•

Programme has been changed - reselect desired programme and press

“Start/Pause”

•

Programme has been interrupted and eventually door has been opened - close

door and restart programme by pressing

“Start/Pause”

•

The appliance’s safety system has been activated (see “Description of red

indications”).

•

Water tap is not opened or water inlet hose is kinked or blocked (“Water tap

closed” indication lights up).

Detergent dispenser

contains residues from

detergent and/or additives

•

Separator in main wash chamber is not correctly installed or not adapted to

use of powder and liquid detergent (see “Detergents And Additives”).

•

Water entering is not enough; the mesh filters of the water supply could be

blocked (see “Care And Maintenance”).

Appliance vibrates during

spin cycle

•

Transport bolts have not been removed;

before using the machine, it is

imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

•

Appliance is not level / not standing firmly on all four feet (see separate

“Installation Guide”).

Final spin results are poor

The appliance 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 in order to protect the washing machine.

•

Heavy item(s) prevented spinning; add smaller articles of laundry and repeat

spin cycle.

•

Excessive foam formation prevented spinning; select and start “Rinse & Spin”

programme. Avoid excessive detergent dosing (see “Detergents And Additives”).

•

“Variable spin” button (if available on your model) has been set to a low spin

speed, or “No spin” option (if available on your model) has been activated.

Detergent residues on

laundry after wash

Whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used in

phosphate-free powder detergents.

- avoid overdosing of detergent

- use liquid detergent

- select “Intensive Rinse” option if possible

- brush out the fabric

Programme time initially

displayed is lengthened /

shortened by a period of

time (only for appliances

having a display which

indicates the remaining

programme time)

Normal capacity of the appliance to adapt to factors that can have an effect on

the wash programme time, e.g.: Excess of foam formation, load imbalance due

to heavy items of laundry, prolonged heating time resulting from reduced inlet

water temperature.

Due to such influences, the programme time is recalculated and updated if

necessary.

On some displays (depending on the model), an animation

appears during such update periods.
