FAULT INDICATION
Faults that occur while a program is running
will be indicated by the program knob moving
to its position C or S at the end of the program
or when it is interrupted.
Knob moves to position S at end of program or
when interrupted
This indicates motor fault or level sensing error
during the program. Phone service.
Knob moves to position C at end of program or
when interrupted
This indicates that an error occured during the
program. Before calling for service, check to see
whether the fault is due to something that you
can put right yourself. Proceed as follows:
•1 Is power supply broken? Check fuses. If you
replace a fuse, run program 7, Super quick wash,
at 60°C without load, ie, to check that the fault
has been corrected.
•2 If there is water remaining in the machine.
Make sure that the Spin knob is not in
position. Then run program 10, Drain. If the
water is not pumped out, phone service.
•3 Is the machine drained or have you drained
the machine according to item 2 above? Set the
knob to zero, ie, pointing straight up, and open
the door.
If the washing is not wet, after the program is
interrupted, the machine has obviously not ta-
ken in water. Check the following:
- water is open.
- strainer in the water intake is not clogged. If it
is clogged, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the water tap.
2. Disconnect the hose.
3. Clean the strainer in the water intake of the
machine.
4. Re-connect the hose.
5. Open the water tap.
6. Run the program again to check that the
fault is remedied.
If the washing is wet, but not spin-dried, check
the following:
- The machine incorporates an out-of-balance
detector, which reduces spin speed or prevents
spinning from starting if the load is very unba-
lanced. Open the door and redistribute the
washing. Start again by selecting the Short spin
program.
- Check the drain hose and the drain pump.
1. Straighten out any kinks in the drain hose.
2. Is there anything stuck in the drain hose out-
let? Clear the hose.
3. Is the drain pump blocked by foreign ob-
jects? Clear the pump, see Chapter 10, Care
and cleaning.
If the knob still moves to position C, despite
the above measures being taken, phone service.
