No water going into
the appliance
- The tap may be turned off.
- The water supply may be disrupted.

Water builds up
during a wash
- This is normal. Water is automatically supplied if the
water level falls.
Water drains out
during a wash
- If there is excess foam, water is drained out and fresh
water supplied to remove the foam. This is the foam
detection function.
- Even if water is directly supplied to the drum, it may
drain away without building up.
Water supply stops
and water is
drained away
- The water supply is automatically stopped if the water
volume in the drum reaches a certain level, and some
water may drain away. This feature is called the overflow
detection function.
