TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

This washing machine is equipped with automatic

safety functions which detect and diagnose faults

at an early stage and react appropriately.

Often, however, the faults detected are small

enough to be solved in a matter of minutes.

For example:

The appliance will not start; no lamp lights up.

Check whether:

•

the appliance is plugged in;

•

the wall socket is functioning correctly

(use a table lamp or similar to test);

•

the washing machine is switched on.

The appliance will not start, and the

“Start (Pause)” lamp blinks.

Check whether:

•

the appliance door is properly closed (child lock);

•

the programme has been changed;

•

the water tap is turned on. If not, turn the tap

on and press the

“Start (Pause)”

button.

After having started a programme, it takes some

time until the programme really starts and

water enters into the washing machine.

•

in the beginning of each programme, the drum

turns once and the door unlocks again for safety

reasons (see paragraph “Child Safety”);

•

there is a reset phase to set the sensors back to

their starting position before the selected

programme will start.

The appliance stops during the programme.

Check whether:

•

the

“Rinse Hold”

lamp blinks. Terminate this

option by pressing the button again;

•

another programme has been selected.

Reselect the desired programme and press the

“Start (Pause)”

button;

•

The appliance safety system has been activated.

See fault description table.

Detergent and additives incorrectly washed in.

Check whether:

•

the slider of the divider insert in the detergent

dispenser is adapted to the use of powder or

liquid detergent.

•

the detergent dispenser inserts are incorrectly

located (see “Care And Maintenance”);

•

enough water is being supplied. The mesh filters

in the water connection could be blocked (see

“Care And Maintenance”).

The appliance vibrates during the spin cycle.

Check whether:

•

the appliance is levelled and solidly installed on

all four feet (see “Installation”);

•

the transit bolts have been removed. Before

using the washing machine you must remove the

transit bolts (see “Installation”).

Final spin results are poor:

The appliance has an imbalance detection and

correction system. If individual heavy articles are

loaded (bathmat, bathrobe, etc.) this system may

reduce the spin speed automatically to protect the

appliance or even interrupt the spin cycle

altogether, if the imbalance is too great even after

several spin starts.

•

If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the

cycle, add other articles of laundry and repeat

the spin cycle.

•

Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.

Ensure correct amount of detergent is used.

•

Check whether the spin speed has been reduced to 0.

No water or insufficient water pressure for

appliances with safety hose:

•

the appliance has a safety hose and the safety

valve has opened (red indicator in the safety

valve inspection window; see “Installation”/

“Connect the water supply hose(s)”).

In this case replace it with a new safety hose.

The programme time indicated on the

display “jumps” suddenly up or down by

several minutes, or the programme

duration shown at the start increases/

decreases by some time:

This is a normal adaptation action by the washing

machine to factors that can affect the duration of

the wash programme, e.g.

•

excessive foaming;

•

load imbalance from individual, heavy items of

laundry;

•

longer heating time from correspondingly cold

water supply.

Because of such influences, the time remaining in

the programme is recalculated and updated if

necessary. In addition, the washing machine

determines the amount of the load during the

filling phase and adjusts the initially indicated

programme duration appropriately if necessary.
