“Electrical module fault”
Push the “Reset” button for at least 3 seconds.
May appear for very water-soaking laundry, or if you
added too much laundry for a programme destined for
small loads only.
Do not overload the washing machine.
Push the “Reset” button for at least 3 seconds to stop
the programme. Select and start “Rinse and Spin”
programme to complete the interrupted wash
programme properly.
“Waterstop fault”
For models with big display, the red “Waterstop”
symbol will also light up in this case.
Turn the programme selector to the “Off/O” position,
pull out the mains plug and turn the water tap off.
Tilt the appliance forward carefully (a second person
must help you) to allow collected water to flow out
from the bottom. Then:
• Plug in the appliance again.
• Turn the water tap on (if water immediately flows
into the appliance without the appliance being
started, there is a failure; turn off the tap and notify
the After-Sales Service).
• Select and start the desired programme again.
“Overfoaming”
Too much foam interrupted the wash programme.
If your washing machine has a “Dosing Aid” function,
and you used it: check if the dosing values set for the
different programme groups correspond to the dosing
values recommended for the detergents you use (see
details in separate Instructions for the “Dosing Aid”).
• Select and start the “Rinse & Spin” programme.
• Afterwards select and start the desired programme
again, using less detergent. See also paragraph
“The machine is at a standstill....” on first page of
Troubleshooting Guide.
If any of the faults described above persist, unplug the appliance, turn off the water tap and
contact our After-Sales Service (see next chapter).
