Problems which you can resolve yourself, before calling the After Sales Service.

During machine operation it is possible that the 

light starts to flash:

4 flashes= the door has not been closed
2 flashes= the machine does not empty
1 flash= the machine does not fill.
On model ZWF 1400 an acoustic signal will be heard.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after all
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

Problem

Possible cause

• The machine does not start up:

• The door is not firmly closed.
• The machine is not plugged in or there is no power

at the socket.

• The main fuse has blown.
• The 

(delay start) option has been selected.

• The programme selector dial is not positioned correctly

and the START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.

• The machine does not fill:

• The water tap is closed.

• The inlet hose is squashed or kinked.

• The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.

• The door is not properly closed.

• The machine fills then empties

immediately:

• The end of the drain hose is too low. Refer to

relevant paragraph in “water drainage” section.

• The machine does not empty

and/or does not spin:

• The drain hose is squashed or kinked.

• A programme with option 

or

has been

selected.

• The drain pump is clogged.

• There is water on the floor:

• Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent

(creates too much foam) has been used.

• Check whether there are any leaks from one of the

inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this
as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it
is damp.

• The drain hose is damaged.

• The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not

been replaced after cleaning the pump.

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Too little or too much detergent has been used.

• An unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to

washing.

• The correct temperature was not selected.

• Excessive laundry load.

• The machine vibrates or is noisy:

• The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.

• The support feet have not been adjusted.

• The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

• Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
