Troubleshooting Guide
This washing machine is
equipped with automatic safety
functions which detect and
diagnose faults at an early stage
and allow you to react
appropriately.
Often, however, the faults
detected are small enough to be
solved in a matter of minutes.
For example:
The appliance will not start,
no lamp lights up.
Check whether:
•
the appliance is plugged in;
•
the wall socket is functioning
correctly
(use a table lamp or similar);
•
a programme is selected
correctly.
The appliance will not start,
but the “Start/Pause” lamp
is flashing.
Check whether:
•
the programme has been
changed;
•
the appliance lid is properly
shut. Open and shut it again.
The appliance stops during
the programme.
Check whether:
•
the
“Rinse Hold”
lamp is on,
terminate this option by
pressing the button again;
•
another programme has been
selected. Reselect the desired
programme and press the
“Start/Pause”
button;
•
the
“Start/Pause”
lamp is
flashing. Press the
“Start/
Pause”
button;
•
the safety system of the
appliance was activated.
See fault description table.
Detergent and additive
product residues in
dispenser at end of wash.
Check whether:
•
the detergent dispenser is
properly installed and is not
blocked (see “Care and
Maintenance”);
•
the mesh filter in the water
inlet hose is not blocked (see
“Care and Maintenance”).
The appliance vibrates
during the spin cycle.
Check whether:
•
the appliance is level and that
all the feet are adjusted (see
“Installation”);
•
the transport bracket has been
removed. Before starting up
the appliance, the transport
screws and the transport
bracket MUST be removed (see
“Installation”).
Final spin results are poor.
Check whether:
•
the pump impeller is
obstructed (see “Cleaning the
Foreign Body Trap”).
•
if the laundry is still too wet at
the end of the programme:
possibly add other items of
clothing and repeat the spin
cycle.
•
there is foam on the washing:
repeat a rinse-spin cycle and
avoid excessive quantities of
detergent.
Note:
The appliance has an imbalance
detection and correction system.
If individual heavy items are
loaded (a bathrobe, for
example), this system may reduce
the spin speed automatically or
interrupt the spin if it detects too
great an imbalance at the start of
the spin, in order to protect the
appliance.
Excessive foam formation may
also prevent spinning.
