Water on the floor around the washing machine...
● Is the fill hose tightened? If so, replace the rubber washers and re-tighten.
● Is the standpipe or the household drain blocked? If so, clear the blockage
yourself or call a plumber.

Ensure that the door glass and gasket are kept clean and free of laundry
when loading the machine.

Water has not drained from the machine? Check the points highlighted
above.
● Have you selected an option that changes the spin profile (Repassage
Facile or Variateur d'Essorage)? Check the feature in the description of
the controls.
● Is the load unbalanced? To reduce noise and vibration and improve the
machine's reliability and life, the machine is fitted with an electronic
sensor that detects if the load is unbalanced. To improve the spin
performance the load can be re-distributed by hand at the end of the
cycle and then re-spun.
The machine is noisy or vibrates a lot during the cycle...
● Has the transit system been fully removed? Check that the bracket and
the polystyrene packing have been taken off the machine.
● Are there any loose items in the pockets of clothing that can rattle in the
drum and cause damage?
● Is the load unbalanced? Stop the programme, re-distribute the load and
restart.
The programme takes a long time...
● Some programmes do take a long time (over 2 hours). Low water
pressure can increase the length of the programme.
The door will not open...
● Has the programme finished?
Does the machine show 'PROGRAM ENDED DOOR OPEN'? If not the
programme is not complete, wait a further couple of minutes and the
message 'PROGRAM ENDED DOOR OPEN' will appear and you will be
able to open the door.
● If water remains in the drum refer to 'Water does not drain away...'
above.
