The machine does not fill:

The water tap is closed. 
• Open the water tap.
The inlet hose is squashed or kinked. 
• Check the inlet hose connection.
The filter in the inlet hose or in the inlet valve filter are blocked.

• Clean the water inlet filters (see ‘Cleaning the water inlet filters’

for more details).

The door is not properly closed. 
• Close the door firmly.

The machine fills then emp-
ties immediately:

The end of the drain hose is too low.
• Refer to relevant paragraph in «Water drainage» section.

The machine does not
empty and/or does not
spin:

The drain hose is squashed or kinked. 
• Check the drain hose connection.
The drain filter is clogged. 
• Clean the drain filter.
An option or a programme that ends with the water still in the tub
or that eliminates all the spinning phases has been selected.
• Select the draining or spinning programme.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.

There is water on the floor:

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much
foam) has been used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fit-
tings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the
hose; check to see if it is damp.
• Check the water inlet hose connection.
The drain or inlet hose is damaged.
• Replace it with a new one.
The filter has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.

Unsatisfactory washing re-
sults:

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.

The door will not open:

The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait until the symbol or light (depending on the model) 

has gone out.

There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
