TROUBLESHOOTING

Your washer-dryer could occasionally fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Service, make sure that the problem cannot be easily 

solved using the following list. 

Anomalies

Possible causes / Solution

The washer-dryer does not 

start.

The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or not enough to make contact.
There is no power in the house.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washer-dryer door is not closed properly.
The ON/OFF

 

 button has not been pressed.

The START/PAUSE

 

 button has not been pressed.

The water tap has not been opened.
A delay has been set for the start time.

The washer-dryer does not fill 

with water (“H2O” appears on 

the display).

The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.
The hose is bent.
The water tap has not been opened.
There is no water supply in the house.
The pressure is too low.
The START/PAUSE

 

 button has not been pressed.

The washer-dryer 

continuously loads and 

unloads water.

The drain hose is not fitted between 65 and 100 cm from the floor.
The free end of the hose is immersed in water.
The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.
 

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

Technical Assistance Service. If the home is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating 

to back-siphonage, causing the washer-dryer to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-siphon valves 

are available in shops and help to prevent this inconvenience.

The washer-dryer does not 

drain or spin.

The cycle does not include drainage: with certain cycles it must be started manually.
The drain hose is bent.
The drainage duct is clogged.

The washer-dryer vibrates a 

lot during the spin cycle.

The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation.
The washer-dryer is not level.
The washer-dryer is tucked between furniture cabinets and the wall.

The washer-dryer leaks.

The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly.
The detergent dispenser drawer is obstructed.
The drain hose is not properly attached.

The START/PAUSE

 

 

indicator light flash rapidly 

and an error code appears on 

the display (e.g.: F-01, F-..).

Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute and then switch it back on again.  

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

There is too much foam.

The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the text “for washer-dryers” or “hand and 

machine wash”, or the like).
Too much detergent was used.

The washer-dryer does not 

dry.

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.
A Delay has been set.
DRYING is in the OFF position.

The machine can be heard 

taking in water during the 

drying cycle.

It is normal for the machine to take in short bursts of water during the drying cycle. This helps keep some internal 

parts cool, and aids speed of drying.
