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 solved within a few minutes.

The appliance will not start, no lamp

lights up.

Check whether:

•

the mains plug is inserted into the socket;

•

the wall socket is functioning correctly

(use a table lamp or similar);

•

a programme is selected correctly;

•

the On/Off button (depending on model) has

been pressed.

The appliance will not start, but...(varies

depending on model)

...the “Start/Pause” lamp is flashing.

Check whether:

•

the appliance door is properly closed

(child safety);

•

the programme has been changed;

•

the water tap is open. If not, open the tap and

press the

“Start/Pause”

button.

...the “On/Off” lamp is on.

Check whether:

•

the appliance door is properly closed

(child safety);

•

a programme has been selected and the

programme is started;

•

the water tap is open. If not, open the tap and

switch the appliance first off, then on.

The appliance stops during the

programme (varies depending on model).

Check whether:

•

the

“Rinse Hold”

lamp is on, terminate this

option by pressing the button again;

•

another programme has been selected.

Reselect the desired programme and press the

“Start/Pause”

button;

• “Start/Pause”

lamp is flashing. Press

“Start/Pause”

button;

•

the

“Rinse Hold”

button is pushed, terminate

this option by pressing the button again;

• “On/Off”

lamp is off. Press

“On/Off”

button;

•

the washing machine safety system has been

activated (see fault description table).

Detergent and additive product residues

in dispenser at end of wash.

Check whether:

•

the siphon is correctly installed and clean

(see “Care and Maintenance”);

•

enough water is being supplied. The mesh filters

between the inlet hose and the tap could be

blocked (see “Care and Maintenance”).

Check and clean the filter two or three times a

year (see “Removing the filter”).

The appliance vibrates during the spin

cycle.

Check whether:

•

the appliance is levelled and solidly installed on all

four feet (see “Installation Guide”);

•

the transit bolts have been removed. The transit

bolts must be removed before the appliance can

be used (see “Installation Guide”).

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 high even after several spin starts.

•

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

cycle, add smaller articles of laundry to balance

the load and repeat the spin cycle.

•

Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.

Ensure correct amount of detergent is used

No water or insufficient water supply:

•

the appliance has a safety hose and the safety

valve has opened (red indicator in the safety valve

inspector window).

In this case replace it with a new safety hose.

What should I do when the automatic safety system detects a malfunction? (

varies

depending on model)

The programme is interrupted and various indicators (if available) point to the source of the fault.
