Troubleshooting

Your machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance (see Service), make sure the problem can't easily be
solved by consulting the following list:
Problem:
The machine won't start?
The wash cycle won't start?
The machine fails to fill with
water?
The machine continuously fills
with water and drains?
The machine does not drain or
spin?
Possible causes / Solution:
• The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make
contact.
• There has been a power failure.
• The appliance door is not shut properly.
• The ON/OFF button
• The START/CANCEL button
seconds.
• The water tap is not turned on.
• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
• The hose is kinked.
• The water tap is not turned on.
• There is a water shortage.
• The water pressure is insufficient.
• The START/CANCEL button
seconds.
• The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100cm from the floor (see
Installation).
• The free end of the hose is underwater (see installation).
• The wall drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe.
If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap,
switch the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of
the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing
the machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such
an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
• If the machine was unable to balance the load it will use a slow spin rather
than risk machine damage; the clothes might appear wetter than
expected.
• The drain hose is bent (see Installation).
• The drain duct is clogged.
