•

The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket properly or there is no
power in the house or electrical socket.

• There is no power in the house.

• The porthole door has not been shut properly.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The water tap has not been turned on.

• The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

• The hose is kinked.

• The water tap has not been turned on.

• There is no water in the house.

• The water pressure is insufficient.

• The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• The end of the outlet hose has not been fitted at a height between 65 and 100

cm from the floor (

see “Installation”).

• The free end of the hose is underwater (

see “Installation”).

• If If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be

problems relating to water drainage, causing the washing machine to load and

drain water continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and

help to avoid this inconvenience.

• The water drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

• The programme does not include a draining phase: some programmes require

manual draining (

see “Programmes and options”).

•

The “Reduced creases” option is enabled: to complete the programme, press the

START/PAUSE button 

(see “Programmes and options”).

• The outlet hose is bent (

see “Installation”).

•

The drainage duct is clogged.

• The drum was not unlocked properly when the appliance was installed

(see “Installation”).

• The washing machine is not level (

see “Installation”).

•

The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and a wall 

(see “Installation”).

• The load is not balanced properly (

see “Description of the machine”).

• The water inlet hose is not screwed on to the tap correctly (

see “Installation”).

•

The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for instructions on how to clean it,

see “Care and maintenance”).

• The outlet hose has not been secured properly (

see “Installation”).

• Switch off the machine and unplug the appliance; wait for approximately 1

minute then switch it on again.

If the problem persists, contact Assistance.

• The detergent is not designed for machine washing (the packaging should state

that the product is “for washing by machine”, “for washing by hand or machine”

or similar).

• Too much detergent was used.

• Follow the manual unlocking procedure 

(see “Precautions and tips”).

• Drain pump may be blocked, see “Cleaning the pump” under the “Care and

Maintenance” chapter.

 If the problem persists after the above checks have been carried out, shut off the

water tap, switch off the machine and contact Assistance.

From time to time your machine may not operate as it should. Before calling for Assistance (

see “Assistance”)

The  machine  continuously  fills

and drains water.

The machine does not drain

or  spin.

The washing machine vibrates

too much during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The icons corresponding to the “Wash

Cycle Phase” flash rapidly at the same

time as the ON/OFF indicator light.

There is too much foam.

The washing machine door

remains locked.

Temperature LED 1 (No Heat) &
