Troubleshooting

Your  Washer-dryer  could  fail  to  work.  Before  contacting  the  Technical  Assistance  Centre

(

see “Assistance”

), make sure that the problem cannot be not solved easily using the following list.

Problem:

The  Washer-dryer  does  not

switch  on.

The  wash  cycle  does  not  start.

The  Washer-dryer  does  not

take  in  water  (the  indicator

light  for  the  first  wash  cycle

stage  flashes  rapidly).

The  Washer-dryer  continuously

takes  in  and  drains  water.

The  Washer-dryer  does  not

drain  or  spin.

The  Washer-dryer  vibrates  a

lot  during  the  spin  cycle.

The  Washer-dryer  leaks.

The  START/PAUSE  indicator  light

(orange)  and  the  function

indicator  lights  flash  rapidly.

There  is  too  much  foam.

The  washer-dryer  does  not  dry.

Possible  causes  /  Solutions:

•

The appliance is not plugged into the socket fully, or is not making contact.

•

There is no power in the house.

•

The Washer-dryer door is not closed properly.

•

The ON/OFF button has not been pressed.

•

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

•

The water tap has not been opened.

•

The water inlet hose is not connected to the tap.

•

The hose is bent.

•

The water tap has not been opened.

•

There is no water supply in the house.

•

The pressure is too low.

•

The START/PAUSE button has not been pressed.

•

The drain hose is not fitted at a height between 65 and 100 cm from the

floor 

(see  “Installation”)

.

•

The free end of the hose is under water 

(see “Installation”)

.

•

The wall drainage system is not fitted with a breather pipe.

If the problem persists even after these checks, turn off the water tap,

switch the appliance off and contact the Assistance Service. If the

dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be problems

relating to water drainage, causing the Washer-dryer to fill with water

and drain continuously. Special anti-draining valves are available in shops

and help to avoid this inconvenience.

•

The wash cycle does not include draining: some wash cycles require the

drain phase to be started manually.

•

The drain hose is bent 

(see “Installation”)

.

•

The drainage duct is clogged.

•

The drum was not unlocked correctly during installation 

(see “Installation”)

.

•

The Washer-dryer is not level 

(see “Installation”)

.

•

The Washer-dryer is trapped between cabinets and walls 

(see “Installation”)

.

•

The water inlet hose is not screwed on properly 

(see “Installation”)

.

•

The detergent dispenser drawer is blocked 

(

for cleaning instructions, 

see

“Care and maintenance”)

.

•

The drain hose is not fixed properly 

(see “Installation”

)

.

•

Switch off the machine and unplug it, wait for approximately 1 minute

and then switch it back on again.

If the problem persists, contact the Technical Assistance Service.

•

The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (it should display the

text “for Washer” or “hand and machine wash”, or the like).

•

Too much detergent was used.

•

The appliance is not plugged into the socket, or not enough to make contact.

•

There has been a power failure.

•

The appliance door is not shut properly.

•

The DRYING knob is on the   setting.
