Cause
• if the wrong machine type is
selected the wrong outputs will be
activated
• the suspension is not working, the
shock absorbers are cold
• check if connector R and Q are
connected
• check if connector R and Q are not
inverted
• this is a wait state caused by a
power interruption or a safety
sequence at the end of the process
• check if the programmed water
levels in the P-submenu are the
correct ones
• check if the right machine type is
selected in the S-submenu
• you have changed the machine type
but the standard water levels are not
changed
• you can start a new program and
advance the program to the tumble
sequence
• the drain is stopped up
• the drain valve is blocked
• the drain valve is not closing
• leakage of rubber between tub and
drain valve
• inlet taps are closed
• water pressure too low
• water is blocked somewhere
• inlet valve filter is blocked
• inlet valve is damaged
• inlet valve is damaged
• clamps of hoses are not tightened
• some hose is damaged
• sealing is damaged
• supply and drain hoses are not
connected properly
• the door rubber seal is damaged
• insufficient door pressure
• program is not correct
• the hoses are not correct connected
• incoming supply is not warm
• heating elements are defective
• wiring is damaged or wrong
• calcium sediments cover the

the door
• clean the drain
• clean the drain valve
• check wiring from drain valve
• change drain valve when broken
• Replace rubber piece
• open inlet taps
• look at your supply installation
• check for kinks in the inlet hose
• close water inlet and clean filter
• replace inlet valve
• replace inlet valve
• tighten the clamps
• replace the hose
• change the sealing
• connect the hoses properly
• change the door rubber seal
• remove spacers from behind the hinges
• change program to correct temperature
• connect the supply hoses correctly, the
incoming supply to the warm water inlet
