Fault display table
a.Fault in the water supply
The appliance has no or insufficient water supply.
For models with a fault display, the “Water tap” lamp
lights up and (depending on model) the spin speed
indication lamps flash.
For models with no fault display, the washing machine
stops in the appropriate programme step.
Switch the appliance off and pull out the mains plug.
Check whether:
•
the water tap is fully turned on, and the water
supply pressure is sufficient
•
the water inlet hose is kinked
•
the water connection mesh filters are blocked
(see “Care And Maintenance”/”Mesh Filters in the
Water Connection”)
•
the water supply hose is frozen up
•
the washing machine has a safety hose and the
safety valve is open (red indicator in the safety valve
inspection window); In this case replace it with a
new safety hose
Reconnect the appliance to the electrical socket.
For models with a fault display, reselect the desired
programme and start it.
For models without a fault display continue the
programme by pressing the “On/Off” or the “Start” or
the “Start/Pause” button (depending on model) again.
If the fault occurs again, please contact After-Sales
Service (see “After-Sales Service”).
b.Draining fault
Waste water not pumped out.
For models with a fault display the spin speed indication
lamps flash and the pump display flashes. If a digital display
is fitted, “P
” and “F” are also displayed alternately.
For models with no fault display, the washing machine
stops in the appropriate programme step.
Switch the appliance off and pull out the mains plug.
Check whether:

The Filter”)
IMPORTANT:
before draining, make sure that the

Reconnect the appliance to the electrical socket.

To rinse the laundry, we then recommend a short

indication lamps flash. If a digital display is fitted, “F4
” to

Switch the washing machine off. First of all select and
start the “Drain” cycle.
Then select and start the desired programme again.
For models with no fault display, the washing machine
stops in the appropriate programme step.
First switch the washing machine off and on again to
continue with the programme.
If the fault persists, please contact After-Sales Service
(see “After-Sales Service”).
d.“Water Stop” fault
(if fitted)
The “Water Stop” fault may have been triggered by:
1.
excess foaming
2.
a leak in the washing machine.
In this case the pump is switched on automatically in
order to pump the water out.
For models with a fault display, the “Water Stop”
indication flashes and the spin speed indication lamps

displayed alternately.
For models with no fault display, the washing machine
stops in the appropriate programme step.
Switch the appliance off, pull out the mains plug
and turn the water tap off.
Tilt the appliance forwards ( with 2 people it is
suggested), to allow the collected water to flow out
from the bottom of the appliance.
Then:
1.
Plug in the appliance.
2.
Turn the water tap on (if water immediately flows into
the appliance again, without the appliance being
started, there is a fault. Turn off the tap and notify
After-Sales Service).
3.
For models with fault display, select and start the
desired programme again.
For models with no fault display, continue the
programme by pressing the “On/Off” button again.
