Troubleshooting and error codes

Symptom	Possible causes
The machine does not start	The door has not been closed. The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket. There is no supply at the socket. The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown. The selector dial is not correctly positioned. The ON/OFF button has not been depressed.
The machine does not fill	Ensure the water taps are open. The filters in the inlet hoses are blocked. The inlet hoses may be squashed or kinked. The door has not been closed.
The machine fills then empties immediately	The end of the drain hose is too low. The end of the drain hose is submerged in water. There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not empty and/or does not spin	The drain hose may be squashed or kinked. The RINSE HOLD option has been selected. The drain filter may be blocked. The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the instructions for connecting to the waste. The drainage system pipes are blocked. The washload is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to allow the machine to spin.
There is water on the floor	Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too much foam). Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose(s) fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp. The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned. The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged. The drainage system pipes are blocked.
Unsatisfactory washing results	Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and causes lime scale to form. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing The correct wash programme has not been selected. Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
The machine vibrates when spinning	The internal packing has not been removed. The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture. The machine is not stable and level (check diagonally). The washing load is badly distributed in the drum. Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
