The washing machine
does not drain or
spin.
Does the selected
programme incorporates
water draining?
Some
programmes stop at the end of
the wash cycles and draining
will have to be selected
manually.
Is the Rinse hold" function
-where provided - enabled?
This function requires manual
selection for draining.
Is the drain pump clogged?
To check it, turn off the water
supply, unplug the washing
machine and follow the
instructions on page 25, or call
for technical assistance.
Is the drain hose kinked?
The tract of the drain hose
must be as straight as possible.
Make sure the drain hose is not
squashed or kinked.
Is the washing machines
drain duct clogged?
Is there
an extension of the drain
hose? If so, is it positioned
incorrectly, blocking the water
flow?
Excessive vibration
during the spin cycle.
Have all transit screws been
removed durind instal-
lation?
See the following
page on installation
procedures.
Has the washing machine
been levelled correctly?
The
levelling of the appliance
should be checked
periodically. Adjust the feet
and check them with a level.
Is there space between the
machine and adjacent units?
If it is not a built-in model, the
washing machine will oscillate
a bit during the spin cycle. A
few cm of space should
therefore be left around it.
The washing machine
leaks.
Is the metal ring of the inlet
hose properly attached?
Turn
off the water supply, unplug
the appliance and try
tightening its attachment
without forcing it.
Is the detergent dispenser
obstructed?
Remove and
wash it under tap water.
Is the drain hose well
attached?
Turn off the water
supply, unplug the appliance
and try tightening its
attachment.
Too much foam.
Is the detergent appropriate
for machine washing?
Check
whether the definition on its
label reads for machine wash
or hand and machine wash,
or any other similar wording.
Is the correct amount being
used?
An excessive amount of
detergent, besides producing
too much foam, does not
guarantee a more effective
wash, and causes scaling in the
internal parts of the appliance.
If, despite all checks, the
washing machine fails to
function and the problem
persists, call your nearest
authorised Customer Service
Centre, providing the following
information:
- the nature of malfunction
- the model type no. (Mod. ....)
- the serial number (S/N ....)
This information can be found on
the data plate situated at the back
of the washing machine.
