How to troubleshoot power issues with my Defy DTL165 Washer?
If your Defy Washer isn't powering on, first, see if there's a power outage in your area. Next, check your home's fuse box or circuit breaker to ensure nothing has tripped or blown. Lastly, make sure the washer's power cord is fully and securely plugged into the outlet.
What to do if my Defy Washer is not getting water?
If water isn't filling your Defy Washer, ensure you've pressed the Start/Pause button after selecting the water supply. Verify that the water supply tap is fully open. Inspect the filter net at the water supply hose connector for clogs and clean it with a toothbrush if necessary. Also, check if the water supply has been cut off; if so, turn off the tap and power off the washer. Finally, confirm that the water pressure isn't too low.
What to do if my Defy DTL165 won't drain?
If your Defy Washer isn't draining water, check that the drain hose isn't higher than 100 cm. Also, make sure the drain hose isn't kinked or blocked. Finally, inspect the water outlet for any clogs.
Why is my Defy DTL165 Washer not spinning?
If your Defy Washer isn't spinning, first ensure the laundry is evenly distributed inside the wash/spin tub. Check that the washer is placed on a level surface. Also, confirm that the washer lid is closed properly and nothing is preventing it from closing completely.
Why is my Defy DTL165 draining slowly?
If your Defy Washer drains water very slowly, the drain might be clogged with items like coins or pins. Ensure the drain hose isn't positioned below 65 cm. You could also try half-filling the spin basket with water and spinning again.
How to reduce spinning noise in my Defy DTL165?
Loud noises and vibrations during spinning in your Defy Washer can be due to several reasons. Make sure the laundry is spread evenly inside the washer. Ensure the washing machine is level on a sturdy, flat floor. Also, check the area around the washing machine for any objects that might be causing the noise.
What does error E1 mean on my Defy DTL165 Washer?
If your Defy Washer shows an 'E1' error, check if the water tap is shut, or if the water supply is cut off. Also, see if the tap or water supply hose is frozen. Determine if the water pressure is low, or if the filter of the inlet valve is clogged with impurities. Finally, verify that the hot and cold hoses are connected correctly.
What does error code E2 mean on a Defy DTL165 Washer?
If your Defy Washer displays an 'E2' error, check if the drain hose is positioned correctly and is not bent or placed too high. Also, inspect the internal part of the hose or drain pump (only for pump model) for any clogs. Finally, check whether there has been a power failure.
What does E3 error mean on my Defy DTL165 Washer?
If your Defy Washer is showing an 'E3' error, check that the laundry is evenly distributed and that it has not clumped on one side of the wash/spin tub. Also, check whether the washer is on a level surface.
