TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

This washing machine is equipped with automatic

safety functions which detect and diagnose faults

at an early stage and 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 appliance door is properly closed

(child safety);

• the programme has been changed;

• the water tap is open. If not, open the tap and

press the "Start/Pause" button.

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;

• "Start/Pause" lamp is flashing. Press "Start/

Pause" button;

• Safety system of the appliance was activated.

See fault description table.

What should I do when the automatic safety system detects a malfunction?

The programme is interrupted and various indicators (if available) point to the source of the fault.

"Water Stop"

Detergent and additive product residues in

dispenser at end of wash.

Check whether:

• the siphon is correctly installed and clean

(see "Care and Maintenance");

• enough water is being supplied. The mesh filters

between the inlet hose and the tap could be

blocked (see "Care and Maintenance"). Check

and clean the filter two or three times a year

(see "Removing the filter").

The appliance vibrates during the spin cycle.

Check whether:

• the appliance is levelled and solidly installed on

all four feet (see "Installation Instructions");

• the transit bolts have been removed. The transit

bolts must be removed before the appliance can

be used (see "Installation Instructions").

Final spin results are poor:

The appliance has an imbalance detection and

correction system. If individual heavy articles are

loaded (bathmat, bathrobe, etc.) this system may

reduce the spin speed automatically to protect the

appliance or even interrupt the spin cycle

altogether, if the imbalance is too great even after

several spin starts.

• If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the

cycle, add smaller articles of laundry to balance

the load and repeat the spin cycle.

• Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning.

Ensure correct amount of detergent is used

No water or insufficient water supply:

• the appliance has a safety hose and the safety

valve has opened (red indicator in the safety

valve inspector window).

In this case replace it with a new safety hose.
