Possible incidents
Incidents may occasionally occur when you are using your washing machine: if so, check
the following points.
The washing machine does not
work -
check:
• water and power supplies
• that the lid is closed.
The machine vibrates when
spinning -
check:
• the machine has been properly unpacked
• that the ground is horizontal
• that the washing machine is not standing
on its "front" castors.
There is water on the floor near
the washing machine
(VERY IMPORTANT: UNPLUG THE
MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOCKET)
check:
• that the drain hose hook fitting is properly
positioned in the drain
• the seal on the water inlet hose or tap
(check that the seals are present and
that the hose connectors on the machine
and on the tap are tight).
There may also be water on the ground
near the machine if your machine is
producing too much suds.
In this case check:
- that you have in fact used a low suds
detergent
- that you have not used too much
detergent.
In these two cases, after mopping up the
water, plug in the power lead again,
programme an emptying operation, then
carry out several rinses.
Finally, restart your programme.
The machine does not empty or
the clothes are not properly spun
check:
• that you have not programmed a function
that prevents spinning (for example, full
drum stop)
• that the bottom of the tank is not blocked
by some small item of laundry (for
example, a handkerchief, sock, etc.).
In this case:
- unplug the machine
- remove as much water as possible
using the drain spout (see
"Alternate
emptying method"
on page 17)
- remove the washing
- remove part
«A»
(see procedure on
page 16 -
Diagram 14
)
- remove whatever is in the bottom of the
tub through the holes now accessible.
Take the opportunity to clean the
"debris trap"
at the bottom of the tub.
- refit the part
«A»
.
