Troubleshooting
Before calling, read the following
In most cases, when your washer-dryer fails to work, the problems arising can
be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling for
assistance, always check these points.
The washer-dryer fails to
start.
Is the plug correctly inserted
into the socket? It could have
been moved whilst cleaning.
Is there electricity in the
house?
A circuit breaker may have
switched off as a result of too
many electrical appliances
working at the same time. Or
maybe due to a general failure
in your entire area.
Is the washer-dryer door
closed properly?
For safety reasons, the
washer-dryer cannot work if
RIGHT
Turn off the water
supply after use.
This will eliminate
the possibility of
leakage.
Always leave the
appliance door ajar
to avoid bad odours.
Clean the
appliance's
exteriors gently.
To clean the
exteriors and the
rubber parts of the
appliance, always
use a soft cloth
dipped in warm and
soapy water.
Instructions for installation and use
9
the door is open or not shut
properly.
Is
the
On/Off
button
pressed?
If it is, then a programmed start
has been set.
Is the programmed start
knob, in the correct position
for
those
models
concerned?
Is the water supply turned
on? For safety reasons, if the
washer-dryer does not load
water, it cannot start a wash
cycle.
WRONG
Leave the washer-dryer
plugged in while
cleaning.
Even during maintenance,
the appliance should
always be unplugged.
Use solvents and
aggressive abrasives.
Never use solvents or
abrasives to clean the
external and rubber parts
of the washer-dryer.
Neglect the detergent
dispenser.
It is removable and can
easily be cleaned by
leaving it under running
water.
Go on holiday without
thinking about her.
Before leaving, always
make sure that the
washer-dryer is
unplugged and that the
water supply is turned off.
But where did all the water go?
Simple: with the new Indesit technology, you need less than
half of it, to get good results on twice as much!
This is why you cannot see the water through the door:
because there is little, very little of it, to respect the
environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness.
And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.
The washer-dryer fails to
fill with water.
Is the hose correctly
connected to the tap?
Is there a water shortage ?
There could be work in
progress in your building or
street.
Is there sufficient water
pressure? The autoclave
may be malfunctioning.
Is the tap filter clean? If the
water is very calcareous, or
if work has recently been
carried out on the water
piping, the tap filter could be
clogged with particles and
debris.
Is the rubber hose kinked?
The tract of the rubber hose
bringing water to washer-
dryer must be as straight as
possible. Make sure it is not
squashed or kinked.
The programme selector
knob keeps turning?
Wait a few minutes for the
drain pump to empty the
tub, switch the washer-dryer
off, select one of the symbols
stop/reset
, then switch it
back on. If the knob continues
to turn, call for assistance
because it is showing an
anomaly.
The washer-dryer
continuously fills and
drains water.
Is the drain hose positioned
too low? It must be installed
at a height ranging from 60 to
100 cm.
Is the end of the hose
immersed in water?
Does the wall drainage
system have a breather
pipe? If the problem persists
even after these checks, turn
the water supply off the
machine
and
call
assistance.
If you live on an upper floor of
your building, there may be a
problem with your drain trap.
To solve this problem, a
special valve must be
installed.
