6. Check that the drain hose is not too low or the drain hose is not pushed into the standpipe too
far and the water is siphoning out of the machine.

5.6.4 High Water Level LED Flashing (Overloaded Product)
Possible causes:
1. Check that the product is not overloaded.
2. Check the user has not selected the wrong water level.
3. Check that the inner bowl assembly is not jammed to the agitator with any foreign object that
may be caught under the agitator skirt.
4. Check that the clutch teeth are not locked together with dirt, detergent or lint. Check that the
teeth are not broken.
5.6.5 First Rinse or Final Spin and Current Spin Speed LED Flashing

(Out of Balance)

Possible causes need to be checked in the following order
1. Even distribution of the load.
2. The machine is both level and stable on the floor.
3. That the feet have the rubber inserts fitted and the cabinet corners are clear of the floor.
4. That machine is correctly installed, is level and does not rock on the floor.
5. The bias spring is fitted between the top of the neck ring and the front left hand suspension rod.
6. The suspension is not catching or bouncy. If so, replace all four-suspension rods.
7. Both balance rings of the inner bowl contain water. The most accurate way is to check the
weight of the inner bowl (Refer to Section 2.13).
8. That the holes on the inner bowl have been punched through or are not blocked.
5.6.6 First Rinse LED or the Final Spin LED is flashing (Suds)
This warning is generated if the machine senses too much drag on the inner bowl.
1. Too much detergent generally causes this. If so, dissolve the suds by flushing water through
the machine and re-test.
2. Check that the pump is not partially blocked, or that the drain hose is not kinked.
3. Check that a garment or foreign object is not restricting the movement of the inner bowl.
4. Check that the main bearings are not tight.
