Causes, Solutions, Tips

• Plug is not properly inserted in socket.

• Socket or fuse does not function correctly (use a table lamp or similar

appliance to test it).

• the "On/Off" button has not been pressed (if available on your model).

• Door is not properly closed (see also "Child Safety").

model). To unlock the buttons, push the temperature and the spin speed

button simultaneously and hold them at least for 3 seconds. The key

• "Rinse hold" option is activated (if available on your model) and

(Anticrease) lights up in the programme sequence indicator -

terminate "Rinse hold" by pressing "Start/Pause" or by choosing and

starting "Drain" programme.

• Programme has been changed - reselect desired programme and press

"Start/Pause".

• Programme has been interrupted and eventually door has been opened -

• Water tap is not opened or water inlet hose is kinked ("Water tap closed"

indication lights up).

• Separator in main wash chamber is not correctly installed or not adapted

to use of powder and liquid detergent (see "Detergents And Additives").

is imperative that the transport bolts are removed.

• Appliance is not level / not standing firmly on all four feet (see separate

"Installation Guide").

individual heavy items are loaded (e.g. bathrobes), this system may reduce

the spin speed automatically or even interrupt the spin completely in order

to protect the washing machine.

• Heavy item(s) prevented spinning; add smaller articles of laundry and

repeat spin cycle.

• Excessive foam formation prevented spinning; select and start "Rinse &

Spin" programme. Avoid excessive detergent dosing (see "Detergents

And Additives").

• "Variable spin" button (if available on your model) has been set to a low

spin speed, or "No spin" option (if available on your model) has been

activated.

Normal capacity of the appliance to adapt to factors that can have an effect

on the wash programme time, e.g.: Excess of foam formation, load

imbalance due to heavy items of laundry, prolonged heating time resulting

from reduced inlet water temperature.

Due to such influences, the programme time is recalculated and updated if

necessary. On certain displays (depending on the model), an

animation appears during such update periods.
