is shown on the display). “Beep”
sound every 5 seconds.
The washing machine loads and
drains water continuously.
The washing machine does not
drain or does not spin.
Too much foam is formed.
Door is locked, with or without failure
indication, and the programme does
not run.

is located on one of the uppermost oors of a building, a siphon eect can
sometimes occur, thus causing the washing machine to load and drain water
continuously. Special anti-siphon valves are available on the market to prevent
these types of problems.
