Troubleshooting Guide
(Valid for all models except “LCD Intelligent Dialogue
WAL....”)
Depending on the model, your
washing machine is equipped
with various automatic safety
functions. This enables faults to
be detected in good time and the
safety system can react
appropriately. These faults are
frequently so minor that they can
be removed within a few
minutes.
The appliance will not start,
no lamp lights up.
Check whether:
• the mains plug is inserted into
the socket
• the wall socket is functioning
correctly (use a table lamp or
similar) to tes
the washing machine will
not start...
(varies according
to model)... and the “Start/
Pause” light flashes
Check whether:
• the appliance door is properly
closed (child safety)
• the “Start/Pause” button has
been pressed
...and the “Start/Pause” light
goes on
(for models with a digital

.
Check whether:

selected
...and the “On/Off” lamp
goes on.
Check whether:
• the appliance door is properly
closed (child safety)
• the tap is turned on (see also
“Fault in the water supply/
safety hose”)
• a programme has been
selected
The washing machine stops
during the programme
(varies depending on model)
.
Check whether:

• another programme has been
selected and the “Start/Pause”

the “Start/Pause” button
• the door has been opened and
the “Start/Pause” light is
flashing. Close the door and
press the “Start/Pause” button
again
• the “On/Off” button has been

• the washing machine safety
system has been activated (see

Detergent and additive
product residues in
dispenser at end of wash.
Check whether:
• the siphon is correctly installed
and clean (see “Care And
Maintenance”)
• sufficient water is entering.
The mesh filters in the water
connection could be blocked
(see “Care And Maintenance”)
• when using powder detergent
beforehand the coloured
insert for dosing liquid
detergent has been removed
from the
dispenser
The washing machine
vibrates during the spin
cycle.
Check whether:
• the washing machine is level
and standing firmly on all four
feet
• the transport bolts have been
removed. Before using the
washing machine, it is
imperative that the transport
bolts are removed
Final spin results are poor.
The washing machine has an
unbalance detection and
correction system. If individual
heavy items are loaded (e.g. a
bathmat or bathrobe), this
system may reduce the spin
speed automatically or even
interrupt the spin completely if it
detects too great an imbalance
even after several spin starts, in
order to protect the washing
machine.
• If the laundry is still too wet at
the end of the cycle, add
smaller articles of laundry and
repeat the spin cycle
• Excessive foam formation may
prevent spinning. Observe
correct detergent dosages
• Check whether spin speed “0”
was selected
