Something Not Working - Electrolux EWF 1499 Instruction Booklet

Something not working?

Problems which you can resolve yourself.
During the machine operation it is possible that the "Fin de Programa" light flashes, some acoustic signals can be
heard and one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:
- E40: door open
- E20: the water is not drained
- E10: there is no water fill
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the "Start/Pausa" button to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force.
