Troubleshooting
The washer door will not open
- Check that the main power switch is on.
- Is there power? Check your home’s fuses (circuit breakers). The washer door cannot be opened with the Key button if power is off.
- If nothing else works, the washer door can be opened as follows:
- First check that there is no water left in the machine. If there is any water left and you are unable to run the Drain programme, empty the machine by detaching the drainage hose. This is described under the heading “Checking the Filter and Drainage pump”, in the “Care and cleaning” chapter.
- Ensure that the main power switch is off.
- Open the hatch to the drainage pump, bottom left as shown in the illustration.
- Unfasten the screws holding the red plastic handle in place.
- Pull the handle and the door opens.
- Insert the handle back into its slot and screw it tight. Close the hatch to the drainage pump. If the washer door still will not open in the normal way, contact the service division.
