Something not working
If the washing machine is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks before
contacting your local Service Force agent.
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
During machine operation it is possible that the buzzer sounds, the red light of the Start/Pause button flashes and
one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:
-
EE1100 : problem with the water supply
- EE2200 : problem with water draining
- EE4400 : door open
- EEFF00 : anti-flooding system has activated
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the programme. If after all checks,
the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre.
Symptom
The machine does not start
Possible causes
● The door has not been closed. ( EE4400 )
● The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.
● There is no supply at the socket.
● The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.
● The Start/Pause button has not been pressed.
● The Delay start option has been selected.
● The Child Lock function has been enabled.
The machine does not fill
● The water tap is closed. ( EE1100 )
● The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. ( EE1100 )
● The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. ( EE1100 )
● The door has not been closed. ( EE4400 )
The machine fills then empties
immediately ● The end of the drain hose is too low.
● The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.
● There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
The machine does not empty
and/or does not spin ● The drain hose may be squashed or kinked. ( EE2200 )
● The drain filter may be blocked. ( EE2200 )
● The Rinse hold option has been selected.
● The drainage system pipes are blocked ( EE2200 ).
● The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum
to allow the machine to spin.
There is water on the floor ● Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates
too much foam).
● Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see
if it is damp.
● The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.
● The filter has not been fully screwed in after cleaning or the emrgency
emptying cap has not been refitted on the filter.
Unsatisfactory washing results ● Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.
● Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing
● The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.
● Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
