- The appliance is not plugged in or there is a power cut.
- You haven't pressed the «Start/Pause» button
- You have programmed a delayed start.
- See problems 5.1 and 5.2.
- You have selected a programme without spin drying or with
limited spin drying.
- The spin safety system has detected poor distribution of the
washing in the drum : unfold the linen and programme another
spin cycle.
- Check the height of the curved drain part
First remove the plug from the socket and turn off the water
supply.
- Check that the seals
tened (Diagram 1.2) .
- Check the curved part is positioned correctly
1.3) .
- The washing machine has not been released correctly
(Diagram 1.1.3) .
- The floor is not level (paragraph 1.4) .
- You have programmed «Full drum stop».
- The drain hose is bent or squashed (Diagram 1.3) .
- See problem 5.3.
- The programme has not yet finished.
-Wait until the temperature inside the machine drops.
- If you have access, check that a small item of linen is not trap-
ped between the drum and the tank, by removing part
from the bottom of the drum (Diagram 4.2) .
- See problem 5.2.
- 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.
This is not a fault. The length of time displayed at the start of the programme is
updated according to the load in the machine (automatic weighing). This gua-
rantees perfect washing results and water and energy consumption appropriate
to the load. This is normal. The spin safety and anti-foam systems may extend
the initial programme time displayed.
