the control panel

This indicates that the machine has failed to take in water

(see Installation).

Check that: 

that the cold water inlet hose is connected to the cold water supply tap.

the cold water inlet hose is not kinked.

the cold water supply tap is turned on - Ensure it is turned fully on.

the water pressure is sufficient (

see 

Technical Details Chart

).

This indicates that the door is not closed properly.

Close the door firmly and try the machine again.

This indicates that the machine failed to drain, possibly because the pump filter is blocked.

Your machine is fitted with a filter system for the pump - This filter may have become 
blocked (

see Care and Maintenance

) for details of how to remove any blockage from the 

pump filter.

Error message:

The machine makes a noise or
vibrates too much during the
spin cycle.

The machine leaks:

Not all the detergent has
been flushed out of the 
dispenser drawer.

The dispenser drawer will 
not close properly or is 
collecting water.

The transit fixings may not have been removed correctly (

see Installation

‘Remove the 

transit fixings’) - Failure to remove all the parts of the transit fixings will cause the 
machine to vibrate excessively during spin.

Note:  There are TWO transit fixings that need to be removed - two bolts, two washers,
two rubber grommets and two nylon spacers.

The machine is not level (

see Installation

) - Adjust the feet so that the machine stands firm on the

floor (ie, it does not rock) and ensure the machine is level from front to back and from side to side.

The machine is closed in, between furniture cabinets and the wall (

see Installation

).

Perhaps the machine was attempting to spin an unbalanced load - Try the machine again 
with a different wash load.

When you sort your laundry into wash groups, check all loose items, such as coins are 
removed from the laundry. Check the drum at the end of each cycle and remove any loose 
items (coins etc).

Note: ‘Super Silent’ refers to wash sound level only - there will always be some motor 
and drum noise during spin.

... from behind or underneath:

Check each end of the cold water inlet hose, ensuring connections at both ends are tight 
and not leaking (

see 

Installation

).

Depending on the installation method used (

see 

Installation

). Check:

- that the drain hose is firmly secured to the undersink ‘U’ trap, or...
- that the drain hose is positioned correctly into the standpipe.

Check that your water pressure is within limits (

see 

Technical Details Chart

).

- If too high, try turning the cold water supply tap down slightly and try the machine
again (

see 

Installation

).

... from the dispenser drawer (water leaking down the front of the machine):

Check that the detergent dispenser is not blocked or obstructed.

- Remove the drawer from the machine and clean it (

see 

Care and Maintenance

).

Check the cold water supply tap is turned on sufficiently (

see 

Installation

).

Is your water pressure within limits (

see 

Technical Details Chart

), if it is too low it may 

not be sufficient to flush all the detergent out of the drawer.

Check that the detergent dispenser is not blocked or obstructed.

- Remove the drawer from the machine and clean it (

see 

Care and Maintenance

).

Note: Are you using detergent tablets? - If yes, please check the detergent manufacturers
instructions on the side of the detergent box, not all detergent tablets are suitable for 
use in the dispenser drawer some need to be placed into the machine drum with 
the wash load for them to dissolve correctly.

Check that the detergent dispenser is not blocked or obstructed.

- Remove the drawer from the machine and clean it (

see 

Care and Maintenance

).
