Fault

Cause and troubleshooting

The water is not drain-
ing.

Drain pump is blocked.

→ 

"Cleaning the drain pump", Page 34

The water outlet hose is connected too high.

Install the water outlet hose at a maximum height of
1 metre.

Pump cover is not correctly assembled.

Correctly assemble the pump cover.

Detergent dosage is too high.

Immediate measure: Mix one tablespoon of fabric
softener with 0.5 litres of water and pour the mix-
ture into the left-hand compartment (not for outdoor
clothing, sportswear or items stuffed with down).

Reduce the amount of detergent for the next wash-
ing cycle with the same load.

Unapproved extension installed on the water drain
hose.

Remove any unapproved extensions from the water
hose.

"Connecting the appliance", Page 15

The pump cap is not fully screwed in.

Ensure that the pump cap is screwed in all the way
into the appliance. The handle on the pump cap
must be in a vertical position.

Water is not flowing
in. Detergent is not
being dispensed.

You have not pressed 

Start/ Reload

.

Press 

Start/ Reload

.

The filter in the water inflow is blocked.

Clean the water inflow filter.

The tap is turned off.

Turn on the tap.

The water inlet hose is kinked or jammed.

Ensure that the water inlet hose is not kinked or
jammed.

The spin cycle runs
several times.

The unbalanced load detection system eliminates an
imbalance by repeatedly redistributing the laundry.

Not a fault – no action required.

Note: 

When loading, where possible, place large and

small items of laundry together in the drum. Different
sized items of laundry distribute themselves better
during the spin cycle.
