Drain pump is blocked. Switch off the machine and pull the plug out of the socket, clean the drain pump.
Troubleshooting If the washing results are not satisfactory If the washing turns greyish and limescale deposits are present in the drum • Insufficient washing powder has been added. • Incorrect washing powder was used. • Stains were not pretreated. • Program or temperature was not set correctly. • When using modular washing powders the individual components were not used in the correct ratio.
Troubleshooting Carrying out an emergency emptying 1 Warning! Switch off the washing machine before the emergency emptying! If the washing machine no longer pumps out the water an emergency emptying must be carried out. Warning! The water, which flows out of the emergency emptying hose can be hot.
