TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
This washing machine is equipped with automatic
safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at
an early stage and allow you to react appropriately.
Often, however, the faults detected are small
enough to be solved in a matter of minutes.
For example:
• The washing machine does not start, no
lamp lights up.
Check whether:
•
The washing machine is plugged in.
•
The wall socket is functioning correctly
(use a table lamp or similar appliance to test it).
• The washing machine does not start,
and the “Start/Pause” lamp flashes.
Check whether:
•
The programme has been changed.
Press the
“Start/Pause”
button again.
•
The washing machine lid is properly closed.
Open and close it again.
•
The “Water tap closed” indication lights up. Open
the water tap and press the
“Start/Pause”
button.
• The washing machine stops during the
programme.
Check whether:
•
The “Rinse hold” button (if available on your washing
machine) is pressed and the “Anticrease” lamp lights
up; terminate the programme by pressing the
“Start/Pause”
button or by choosing and starting
the “Drain” programme.
•
The programme was interrupted or changed.
Start the desired programme again by pressing
the
“Start/Pause”
button.
•
The safety system of the washing machine was
activated. See fault description table.
• Detergent and additive product
residues in dispenser at end of wash.
Check whether:
•
The detergent dispenser is properly installed and
is not blocked (see “Care and Maintenance”).
•
The filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked
(see “Care and Maintenance”).
• The washing machine vibrates during
the spin cycle.
Check whether:
•
The washing machine is level and all feet are
adjusted (see “Installation”).
•
The transport bracket has been removed. Before
starting up the washing machine, the transport
bracket MUST be removed (see “Installation”).
• Final spin results are poor.
Note:
The washing machine has an unbalance
detection and correction system. If individual heavy
items are loaded (a bathrobe, for example), this system
may reduce the spin speed automatically or interrupt
the spin if it detects too great an unbalance at the start
of the spin, in order to protect the washing machine.
Check whether:
•
The laundry is still too wet at the end of the
programme. Add smaller laundry items and
repeat the spin cycle.
•
There is foam on the wash. Repeat a rinse and
spin cycle to eliminate excess of detergent. Too
much foam formation may prevent spinning;
avoid excessive detergent dosing.
•
The Variable spin button (if available on your
washing machine) has been set to “0” or to a low
spin speed.
•
The pump impeller is obstructed (see “Cleaning
the Filter”).
•
The “No spin” option (if available on your
machine) was activated.
What should I do when the automatic safety system detects a malfunction?
The programme is interrupted and various indicators (depending on model) point to the source of the fault.
