The machine wont spin properly.

The machine leaks from the

dispenser.

The machine leaks (other than

dispenser).

The Phase in Progress indicator

lights flash rapidly at the same

time as the ON/OFF indicator light.

The machine smells.

The machine door cannot be

opened.

Door Seal damaged at the bottom.

The water level is too low when

the machine is washing.

The machine just 'beeps' when a

programme or option is selected

(Child Lock Symbol is lit).

There is too much foam.

After completing the programme,

or before starting a programme,

the machine has turned itself off

(no lights).

General.

• Out of Balance detected when attempting to go into a spin cycle - If this

happens the machine will continue to try to repeat the distribution of the

load required before the machine will go into higher spin speeds - This will

increase the programme time accordingly. This is a safety feature to

prevent damage.  Out of Balance can be caused by washing a single

heavy item (eg duvet, quilt, etc).  - Try the programme again using a

different load.

• The dispenser drawer is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.

• The water pressure is too high and requires turning down - turn down the

tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.

• The machine is tilting forwards - It must be level when in its final position.

• The fill hose is loose, check both the cabinet and tap ends.

• The fill hose is tight but still leaks, if so replace the rubber washers, or the fill

hose is missing the rubber washer.

• The drain hose is not fixed in properly.

• Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and

then switch back on again. If the problem persists contact Technical

Assistance  Centre.

• The machine requires a service wash. Run a 90 degree wash cycle with

detergent and no laundry.

• The door will not open until the door lock indicator light goes out shortly

after the program has finished.

• If there is no power to the machine you need to perform the manual

unlocking procedure 

(see Precautions & Tips).

• The door seal has drainage holes at the bottom - This is normal.

• The water level is correct if it can be seen at the bottom of the door.

• Deactivate the Child Lock  feature by pressing and holding in the 'CHILD

LOCK' button for 2 seconds.

• The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text

'for washing machines' or 'hand and machine wash' or the like).

• Too much detergent was used - less detergent is required in soft water.

• To comply with new energy saving regulations the machine is fitted with an

automatic standby system.  Press 'ON/OFF' button for 3 seconds to

activate the machine, it can then either be switched off or a new

programme  selected.

• Your washing machine contains sensors that monitor progress during the

wash  cycle  (eg:  Water  Levels,  Temperatures,  Out  of  Balance  loads,  Wash

time/progress).

   Normally, if your machine successfully completes the cycle, there is unlikely

to be anything wrong!

Remember, you will be charged for a service call for problems caused by incorrect installation, as

listed above. Not emptying contents from pockets may cause pump or drain blockages, or may damage

the machine. Do not wash items which do not have a wash label, or wash items that are not intended

as machine washable.
