Your washing machine could fail to work. Before calling for Assistance 

(see page 17)

, make sure the problem

can't easily be solved by consulting the following list.

Troubleshooting

Problem

The washing machine won't start.

The  wash  cycle  won't  start.

The washing machine fails to load

water.

The washing machine continuously

loads and unloads water.

The washing machine does not

drain or spin.

The washing machine vibrates too

much during the spin cycle.

The  washing  machine  leaks.

The  DOOR  LOCKED  Led  flashes

rapidly at the same time as at

least  one  other  LED.

There is too much foam.

Possible causes/Solution:

_

The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to

make  contact.

_

There has been a power failure.

_

The appliance door is not shut properly.

_

The    button has not been pressed.

_

The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

_

The water tap is not turned on.

_

A delayed start has been set (using the Delay Start, 

see page 11

).

_

The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

_

The hose is bent.

_

The water tap is not turned on.

_

There is a water shortage.

_

The  water  pressure  is  insufficient.

_

The START/RESET button has not been pressed.

_

The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor 

(see page 3)

.

_

The free end of the hose is underwater 

(see page 3)

.

_

The wall drainage system doesn't have a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch

the appliance off and call for Assistance. If the dwelling is on one of the upper

floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washing

machine to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an

inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.

_

The programme does not foresee the draining: some

programmes  require  enabling  the  draining  manually 

(see  page  10)

.

_

The Rinse Hold function is enabled: to complete the programme,

press the START/RESET button 

(see page 11)

.

_

The drain hose is bent 

(see page 3)

.

_

The drain duct is clogged.

_

When the machine is installed, the locking screws for the oscillating

assembly are still in place. Remove the screws 

(see page 2).

_

The washing machine is not level 

(see page 2)

.

_

The washing machine is closed in between furniture cabinets and

the wall 

(see page 2)

.

_

The water inlet hose is not screwed on correctly 

(see page 2)

.

_

The detergent dispenser is obstructed (to clean it, 

see page 14)

.

_

The drain hose is not secured properly 

(see page 3)

.

_

This means there is a problem with the machine. Before calling

Assistance,  please  follow  the  set  of  instructions  below:

1. Switch off the machine;

2. Remove the plug connecting the appliance to the mains supply

and wait for at least 40 seconds.;

3. Place the plug back into the socket;

4. Switch on the machine;

5. If the problem is still evident after this process has been carried

out,  contact Assistance.

_

The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should bear

the definition "for washing machines" or "hand and machine wash",  or the like).

_

You used too much detergent.
