indicator lights flash rapidly.

The machine smells.

Door Seal damaged at the bottom.

The water level is too low when the 
machine is washing.

There is too much foam.

After completing the programme, or 
before starting a programme, the ma-
chine has turned itself off (no lights).

General.

•  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 it back on again If the problem persists contact the Technical 
Assistance Service.

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

tergent 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 unlo-

cking 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.

•  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 acti-
vate 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/pro-
gress).

   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.
