Troubleshooting...
The machine will not start...
Close the door. Check that the
machine has power. Choose a
programme and press the
START/Hold To Reset’ button.
If after two seconds the ‘Door Locked
indicator light is not lit, check to see:
i) If the machine is plugged in and
switched ‘ON’.
ii) If the socket is OK. Try another
appliance in the socket to check.
iii) If the fuse in the machine plug is
OK. If not, replace it, see ‘Connect
your machine to the electrical
supply’ (see section: INSTALLING
YOUR MACHINE).
The ‘Door Locked’ indicator light is
flashing...
Shut the door firmly, until it clicks.
The ‘Door Locked’ indicator light
should now stay on.
The ‘Active’ and ‘Prog End’ indicator
lights are both flashing...
This means that the machine cannot
fill. Check that the water supply is
turned on and that the inlet hoses
are not kinked.
The ‘Active’ indicator light is flashing...
The wash dial has been moved since
the programme started. Move the
wash dial to the original programme.
The machine is leaking...
Check the fill hoses have been
tightened at both ends? If not, tighten
them.
Are the fill hoses tightly fitted yet still
leaking? If so, replace the rubber
washers.
Is the standpipe or household drain
blocked? You will need to call a
plumber if you cannot clear the
blockage.
The door will not open...
Has the programme finished? Is the
Prog End’ indicator light lit? The door
will not open until the ‘Door Locked
indicator light has gone out. The
Door Locked’ indicator light will go
out about two minutes after the
programme has finished.
There is still water in the machine.
Go through all the points in the next
section,‘The machine will not pump
out water...’
The machine will not pump out the
water...
Make sure that there is no blockage in
the drain hose and that it is not
kinked.
Is the drain hose installed correctly?
If you have connected your machine
to a sink waste system, make sure that
you have cut out the membrane from
the under sink drainage system.
(see section: INSTALLING YOUR
MACHINE).
Ensure that the drainage system,
standpipe or under sink connection is
free from any blockage.
- If any of the above are found to be
the cause of your problem you will
need to run the machine through a
spin only programme.
If you have chosen ‘Rinse Hold’, the
light will flash until you press the
Rinse Hold’ button to continue the
programme.
The programme takes a long time...
Some programmes do take a long
time. Things which can lengthen the
programme time include low
temperature and low pressure of the
incoming hot water supply, or low cold
water pressure.
