Troubleshooting
Your washer-dryer could fail to work. Before contacting the Technical Assistance Centre (see “Assistance”), make sure that
the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.
Problem:
The Washer-dryer does not switch
on.
The wash cycle does not start.
The Washer-dryer does not take
in water (the indicator light for
the first wash cycle stage flashes
rapidly).
The Washer-dryer continuously
takes in and
drains water.
The Washer-dryer does not drain or
spin.
The Washer-dryer vibrates a lot
during the spin cycle.
The Washer-dryer leaks.
The “Functions” indicator lights and
the “start/pause” indicator light flash,
while one of the “phase in progress”
indicator lights and the “door locked”
indicator light will remain lit in a fixed
manner.
There is too much foam.
The washer-dryer does not dry.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap, switch the applian-
ce off and contact the Assistance Service. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of
a building, there may be problems relating to water drainage, causing the Washer-dryer
to fill with water and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops
and help to avoid this inconvenience.
