WHAT TO DO IF…
Certain problems are due to lack of simple
maintenance or oversights, which can be
solved easily without calling out an engineer.
Before contacting your local Service Centre,
please carry out the checks listed below.
During machine operation it is possible that
the red pilot light of button 6 blinks to indi-
cate that the machine is not working.
It is possible to recognize the machine fault
by the number of button 6 light flashes. If the
number of flashes is different from the ones
indicated below, this is related to a fault that
you cannot solve. In this case, contact your
local Service Centre.
Press simultaneously the buttons 5 and 6 for
a few seconds. The red button 6 light will
flash for a short time as described (the green
flash is not to be considered) :
•
4 flashes = «The washing machine
does not start» , follow the correspond-
ing suggestions in «Possible cause/Solu-
tions» box and restart the programme.
• 1 flash = «The machine does not fill» ,
follow the corresponding suggestions in
«Possible cause/Solutions» box and re-
start the programme.
• 2 flashes = «The machine does not
empty and/or does not spin» , follow the
corresponding suggestions in «Possible
cause/Solutions» box and restart the pro-
gramme.
Once the problem has been eliminated,
press the button 6 to restart the programme.
If after all checks, the problem persists, con-
tact your local Service Centre.
