Troubleshooting

Your washing machine could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre  
(see “Assistance”), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list. 

Problem:

The washing machine does not switch 
on.

The wash cycle does not start.

The washing machine does not take in 
water (the indicator light for the first 
wash cycle stage flashes rapidly).

The washing machine continuously 
takes in and drains water.

The washing machine does not drain or 
spin.

The washing machine vibrates a lot 
during the spin cycle.

The washing machine leaks.

The START/PAUSE indicator light (oran-
ge) and the function indicator lights 
flash rapidly.

There is too much foam.

Possible causes / Solutions:

• 

The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.

• 

There is no power in the house.

• 

The washing machine door is not closed properly.

  The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

  The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

  The water tap has not been opened.

• 

The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

  The hose is bent.

  The water tap has not been opened.

  There is no water supply in the house.

  The pressure is too low.

  The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

• 

The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the 
floor (see “Installation”).

  The free end of the hose is under water (see “Installation”).

  The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, 
switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling 
is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems relating 
to water drainage, causing the washing machine to fill with water and drain 
continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops and help to 
avoid this inconvenience.

  The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the 

drain phase to be started manually.

  The REDUCED CREASES function has been activated: To complete the 

wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button (“Personalisation”).

  The drain hose is bent (see “Installation”).

  The drainage duct is clogged.

  The “Spin Speed” 

is in   position.

 

• 

The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation (see “Installation”).

  The washing machine is not level (see “Installation”).

  The washing machine is trapped between cabinets and walls (see “Installa-

tion”).

  The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly (see “Installation”).

  The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked (for cleaning instructions, see 

“Care and maintenance”).

  The drain hose is not fixed properly (see “Installation”).

  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 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.
