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

(see page 14)

, make sure the problem

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

Troubleshooting

Problem

The  washing  machine  won't

s t a r t .

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

c y c l e .

The  washing  machine  leaks.

The  ON-OFF/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 ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

•

The START button has not been pressed.

•

The water tap is not turned on.

•

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

see page 9).

•

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 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 8)

.

•

The “Easy  Iron”  function  is  enabled:  to  complete  the  programme,

press the START button 

(see page 9)

.

•

The drain hose is bent 

(see page 3)

.

•

The drain duct is clogged.

•

The drum was not unblocked correctly during installation 

(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 12)

.

•

The drain hose is not secured properly 

(see page 3)

.

•  

Switch off the machine and unplug the appliance; wait for

approximately 1 minute then switch it on again.

   If the problem persists, 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.
