 Trouble-Shooting Guide

Some problems are minor in nature and can be 
easily resolved without having to call for service. 
The following guide list some of the problems you 
should check before calling for service.         If 

you are unable to resolve the problem after 
checking  this  guide,  call  our  Toll  Free  Number        
(1 800 26 DANBY) and ask for customer 
assistance. 

 

Problem: 

  Check the following: 

The machine doesn't operate (the control lamp 
is off). 

 

 Check the power supply and fuses.  

 Is the plug correctly plugged in the socket? 

Water is not entering into the machine.

 

 

 Is the machine switched on?  

 Is the water faucet open?  

 Are the screened rubber washer filters on 

the inlet hoses clean?  

 Is the door properly closed? 

The machine moves during operation.

 

 

 Are the transport brackets removed?  

 Is the machine correctly leveled?  (if not, use 

the adjustable legs)  

 Check the load (perhaps you are washing 

only one large item). 

The machine is leaking.

 

 

 Is the lint filter properly fixed?  

 Are the inlet hoses properly secured to the 

faucets and water inlet valves on the 
machine? 

The laundry is too wet at the end of the 
program.

 

 

 Is the lint filter clean (free of solid particles)? 

 Check whether the wall siphon drain is 

clogged (clean it). 

Too much soap suds accumulation during 
washing. 

 

 Check the water hardness and/reduce the 

quantity of washing detergent. 

Unsatisfactory washing results (stains, greasy 
clots).

 

 

 Have you chosen the correct wash program? 

Use larger quantities of washing detergent 
for heavily soiled laundry, or wash smaller 
loads. 

Laundry not well rinsed (detergent  residue 
remains).

 

 

 Is the lint filter clean (free of solid particles)?  

 

Perhaps you overloaded the machine 
(especially delicate fabrics) and used too 
much washing detergent. 

 Check whether the wall siphon drain is 

clogged (clean it). 

 
After you have considered all the above stated 
instructions and the problem still cannot be 
eliminated. Please call the nearest Danby 
authorized service agent or call our Toll Free 
Number (1 800 26 DANBY) and ask for customer 
assistance. 
Any claim or malfunction caused by improper
