Operating Problems
Numerous checks were carried out on your appli-
ance before it left the factory. However, should you
notice a malfunction, please refer to the sections
below before contacting the after-sales service.
Problems Causes
The washing machine
doesn’t start or doesn’t
fill:
• the appliance isn’t plugged in correctly, the electrical installation isn’t
working, there is a power failure,
• the lid of your appliance and the drum shutters aren’t closed firmly,
• the programme start command hasn’t been properly selected,
• the water supply has been cut off, the water inlet tap is closed,
• the water inlet filters are dirty,
• a red tab appears on the water inlet hose.
The appliance fills but
empties straight away:
• the drainage U-piece is fixed too low (see installation section).
The washing machine
doesn’t rinse or doesn’t
empty:
• the drain hose is blocked or bent,
• the object trap is obstructed,
• the out of balance detector has been activated : washing is unevenly
distributed in the drum,
• the “Drain” programme or “Night Silence Plus” or “Rinse hold” option
have been selected,
• the height of the drainage U-piece is unsuitable.
You have found water
around the washing ma-
chine:
• too much detergent has caused foam to overflow,
• the detergent is unsuitable for machine washing,
• the drainage U-piece isn’t attached correctly,
• the water inlet hose is leaking.
Wash is unsatisfactory: • the detergent is unsuitable for machine washing,
• there is too much washing in the drum,
• the wash cycle is unsuitable,
• there isn’t enough detergent.
The appliance vibrates, is
noisy:
• all packaging have not been removed from the appliance (see installation
section),
• the appliance isn’t level and is unbalanced,
• the appliance is too close to the wall or furniture,
• washing is unevenly distributed in the drum, the load is too small,
• the appliance is in running in period.
The wash cycle is much
too long:
• the water inlet filters are dirty,
• the power or water supply has been cut off,
• the motor overheating detector has been activated,
• the water inlet temperature is lower than usual,
• the foam detection security system has been activated (too much de-
tergent) and the washing machine has begun draining the foam,
• the out of balance detector has been activated: an extra phase has been
added to distribute washing more evenly in the drum.
The washing machine
stops during a wash cy-
cle:
• the water or electricity supply is defective,
• a Rinse hold has been selected,
• the drum shutters are open.
The lid doesn’t open at
the end of the cycle:
• the temperature inside the drum is too high,
• the lid unlocks 1 - 2 minutes after the end of the cycle.
Softener runs directly into
the drum when filling the
dispenser box:
• you have gone past the MAX indicator.
