Problem: The programme does not start.

Possible solution:

  • Make sure that the mains plug is connected to the mains socket.
  • Make sure that the appliance door is closed.
  • Make sure that there is not a damaged fuse in the fuse box.
  • Make sure that the Start/Pause has been touched.
  • If the delay start is set, cancel the setting or wait for the end of countdown.
  • Deactivate the Child Lock function if it is on.

Problem: The appliance does not fill with water properly.

Possible solution:

  • Make sure that the water tap is open.
  • Make sure that the pressure of the water supply is not too low. For this information, contact your local water authority.
  • Make sure that the water tap is not clogged.
  • Make sure that the inlet hose has no kinks, damages or bends.
  • Make sure that the connection of the water inlet hose is correct.
  • Make sure that the filter of the inlet hose and the filter of the valve are not clogged. Refer to ‘Care and cleaning’.

Problem: The appliance does not drain the water.

Possible solution:

  • Make sure that the sink spigot is not clogged.
  • Make sure that the drain hose has no kinks or bends.
  • Make sure that the drain filter is not clogged. Clean the filter, if necessary. Refer to ‘Care and cleaning’.
  • Make sure that the connection of the drain hose is correct.
  • Set the drain programme if you set a programme without drain phase.
  • Set the drain programme if you set an option which ends with water in the tub.

Problem: The spin phase does not operate or the washing cycle lasts longer than usual.

Possible solution:

  • Set the spin programme.
  • Make sure that the drain filter is not clogged. Clean the filter, if necessary. Refer to ‘Care and cleaning’.
  • Adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again. This problem may be caused by balance problems.

Problem: There is water on the floor.

Possible solution:

  • Make sure that the couplings of the water hoses are tight and there is not water leakages.
  • Make sure that the water inlet hose and the drain hose have no damages.
  • Make sure you use the correct detergent and the correct quantity of it.

Problem: You cannot open the appliance door.

Possible solution:

  • Make sure that a washing programme that ends with water in tub, has been selected.
  • Make sure that the washing programme is finished.
  • Set the drain or the spin programme if there is water in the drum.
  • Make sure that the appliance receives electrical power.
  • This problem may be caused by a failure of the appliance. Contact the Authorised Service Centre. If you need to open the door, please read carefully «Emergency door opening»

Problem: The appliance makes an unusual noise and vibrates.

Possible solution:

  • Make sure the levelling of the appliance is correct. Refer to ‘Installation instruction’.
  • Make sure that the packaging and/or the transit bolts are removed. Refer to ‘Installation instruction’.
  • Add more laundry in the drum. The load may be too small.
