•INCIDENTS THAT MAY OCCUR

•The cycle does not start
— You have not pressed the "Start/Pause" button
— There is no power to the machine:
- Check that the plug is correctly in the socket
- Check the circuit breaker and the fuses.
— The water tap is closed
— The machine's lid is not closed properly
•A puddle of water forms around the machine
Warning:
First of all remove the plug and the fuse and shut off the water
supply tap.
While the machine is operating, the permanent level control prevents
the water from overflowing. If, despite this, water comes out of your
machine, it may be that:
— The drain hook is wrongly positioned in the drain pipe.
— The water supply hose is not sealed tightly at the machine or tap end:
- Check that the seals are in place and the connections are tight.
•Heavy vibration during spin
— All the transport materials have not been removed correctly from
the machine:
- Check that all the transport wedges have been removed (see
"REMOVING THE TRANSPORT CLAMPS" ).
— The floor is not level.
— Your machine is resting on its two "front" castors (depending on the
model):
- Reset your machine on its feet by pushing the castor engagement
lever to the right.
•The washing is not spun or not spun enough
— You have selected a programme with no spin, for example "Drip-dry"
— The spin safety system has detected poor distribution of the washing
in the drum:
- Untangle the washing and programme a new spin.
• The machine does not drain
— You have programmed "Rinse hold"
— The pump filter is blocked:
- Clean it (see "CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER" for the relevant
procedure)
— The drain hose is kinked or squashed
• The lid does not open
— The programme has not yet finished
The lid remains locked throughout the programme.
• The drum doors open very slowly
(On machines fitted with gently opening doors)
— Your machine has not operated for a long time
— It is located in too cold a position.
— Detergent residue (powder) is blocking the hinges
- In all cases, everything returns to normal after the doors have opened
initially

should stop the machine, unplug the power cable and shut off the

Causes / Remedies
The water tap is closed. Check that the water
tap is open and then press the "Start/Pause"
button again to restart the cycle. This incident
may also be caused by the drain hose being
poorly connected (see

The pump filter is clogged. Clean the pump
filter (for how to do this, see the section
"CLEANING THE PUMP FILTER") and then
press the "Start/Pause" button again to
restart the cycle.
Also check the drain hose's position in the
drain: the connection must not be airtight
(see the section "DRAINING AWAY THE
WASTE WATER").
Lid not closed properly. Check that the lid
is closed and then press the "Start/Pause"
button again to restart the cycle.
Drum blocked. Check that a small item of
laundry (e.g. a handkerchief or a sock, etc.)
has not slipped down between the tub and
