1.4 Phases of the diagnostics test
After accessing the diagnostics cycle, and irrespective of the type of control board fitted to the appliance
(i.e. vertical or horizontal buttons) and the configuration of the selector, turn the programme selector
clockwise to perform the diagnostics cycle for the various components and to read the alarms.
All the alarms are enabled during the diagnostics cycle.
Position of
selector

1
- All the LEDs light in sequence
- When a button is pressed, the
corresponding LED lights (and
the buzzer may sound)
Always enabled
Operation of the
user interface
2
- Door safety interlock
- Washing solenoid valve
Door locked
Water level lower than anti-
overflow level
Maximum time 5 minutes
Water ducted
through washing
compartment
3
- Door safety interlock
- Pre-wash solenoid valve
Door locked
Water level lower than anti-
overflow level
Maximum time 5 minutes
Water ducted
through pre-wash
(bleach)
compartment
4
- Door safety interlock
- Washing and pre-wash solenoid
valves
Door locked
Water level lower than anti-
overflow level
Maximum time 5 minutes
Water ducted
through conditioner
compartment
6
- Door safety interlock
- Wash solenoid (if the water in
the tub is below 1st level)
- Heating element
Door locked
Water level > 1st level
Maximum time 10 minutes or
up to 90°C (*)
Heating
7
- Door safety interlock
- Wash solenoid (if the water in
the tub is below 1st level)
- Motor (55 rpm clockwise, 55
rpm anti-clockwise, impulse at
250 rpm)
Door locked
Water level > 1st level
Check for leaks
from the tub
8
- Door safety interlock
- Drain pump
- Motor up to 650 rpm then at
maximum spin speed
Door locked
Water level lower then anti-
boiling level for spinning
Drain and spin,
check for
congruence in
closure of pressure
switch levels
9
 Only for top-loaders with drum
positioning system:
- Door safety interlock
- Motor (25 rpm)
- Drain pump
Door locked
Water level lower then anti-
boiling level
Maximum time 2 minutes
Test for positioning
of drum
(*) In most cases, this time is sufficient to check the heating function. However, the time can be increased by repeating the heating
phase without draining the water: pass for a moment to a different phase of the diagnostics cycle and then back to the heating
check phase (if the temperature is higher than 80°C, heating does not take place).
