Check if the programmed start knob is correctly positioned for models equipped with this feature.

Is the water supply turned on?

The machine needs water to start. Ensure the water supply tap is turned on.

But where did all the water go?

Explanation of Indesit's low water consumption technology for good results and environmental protection.

The washing machine fails to fill with water

Check hose connection, water shortage, pressure, tap filter, and hose kinks. Ensure proper water supply.

Is the hose correctly connected to the tap?

Verify the inlet hose is properly connected to the water tap for correct function.

Is there a water shortage?

Check for any ongoing water work in your building or street that might affect the supply.

Is there sufficient water pressure?

Check water pressure. The autoclave may be malfunctioning if pressure is insufficient.

Is the tap filter clean?

Ensure the tap filter is clean, as limescale or debris can clog it, affecting water flow.

Is the rubber hose kinked?

Make sure the water inlet hose is not squashed or kinked for unobstructed water flow.

The washing machine continuously fills and drains water

Check drain hose position (60-100 cm) and if end is immersed. Investigate wall drainage system.

Is the drain hose positioned too low?

Ensure the drain hose is positioned at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm.

Is the end of the hose immersed in water?

Verify that the end of the drain hose is not submerged in water to prevent siphoning.

Does the wall drainage system have a breather pipe?

Check the wall drainage system for a breather pipe, as this can cause continuous filling and draining.

The programme selector knob keeps turning?

Wait for drain pump to empty tub, switch off, select Stop/Reset, then switch on again.

RIGHT WRONG

Turn off the water supply after use

Turn off the water supply after each wash to eliminate the possibility of leakage.

Always leave the appliance door ajar to avoid bad odours

Leave the door slightly open after use to allow air circulation and prevent unpleasant odours.

Clean the appliances exteriors gently

Use a soft cloth dipped in warm, soapy water to clean the appliance's exterior and rubber parts.

Use solvents and aggressive abrasives

Never use solvents or abrasive cleaners on the external parts or rubber components of the washing machine.

Neglect the detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser is removable and can be easily cleaned under running water.

Go on holiday without thinking about her

Before leaving for holiday, unplug the machine and turn off the water supply.

The washing machine does not drain or spin

Does the selected programme incorporates water draining?

Check if the selected programme includes automatic draining or if manual selection is required.

Is the Anti-crease function -where provided - enabled?

If 'Anti-crease' is enabled, manual selection for draining is required.

Is the drain pump clogged?

Check the drain pump for clogs. Refer to instructions on page 11 or call technical assistance.

Is the drain hose kinked?

Ensure the drain hose is straight, not squashed or kinked, for proper water flow.

Is the washing machines drain duct clogged?

Check the drain duct for clogs. Verify if drain hose extensions are correctly positioned.

Excessive vibration during the spin cycle

Check if transit screws are removed and if the machine is properly levelled. Adjust feet as necessary.

Are transit screws removed?

Ensure all transit screws have been removed from the back of the machine before installation.

Has the washing machine been levelled correctly?

Periodically check if the machine is level. Adjust the feet and check with a level.

Is there space between the machine and adjacent units?

Allow a few cm of space around the machine, especially if not built-in, for oscillation during spin.

The washing machine leaks

Check inlet hose attachment, detergent dispenser obstruction, and drain hose attachment.

Is the metal ring of the inlet hose properly attached?

Tighten the metal ring of the inlet hose attachment if it's loose.

Is the detergent dispenser obstructed?

Remove and wash the detergent dispenser if it is obstructed.

Is the drain hose well attached?

Tighten the drain hose attachment if it appears loose.

Too much foam

Check detergent type (for machine wash) and amount. Excessive detergent causes foam and scaling.

Is the detergent appropriate for machine washing?

Ensure the detergent label specifies 'for machine wash' or similar wording.

Is the correct amount being used?

Using too much detergent causes foam, scaling, and potential damage to appliance parts.

If, despite all checks, the washing machine fails to function

Contact Customer Service with malfunction details, model, and serial number.
