TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE This washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at an early stage and react appropriately. Often, however, the faults detected are small enough to be solved in a matter of minutes. For example: The appliance will not start; no lamp lights up. Check whether: • the appliance is plugged in; • the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar to test); • a programme is selected correctly.
What should I do when the automatic safety system detects a malfunction? The programme is interrupted and various indicators (if available) point to the source of the fault. Fault description table Small lamp lights up “Water tap closed” “Aquastop / Water Stop” Digital display “FH” “FP” from “F4” to “F21” or “888” “FA” a.
