Faults and what to do about them en 49 Faults and what to do about them Faults Cause/Remedy Water is leaking from the appliance. ■ Attach the drain hose correctly or replace it. ■ Tighten the screw fitting on the supply hose. The appliance is not filling with water. Detergent is not being dis- pensed. ■ Programme does not start? ■ Is the water tap turned on? ■ Could the filter in the water supply be blocked? ~ "Filter in the water supply is blocked" on page 46 ■ Is the supply hose kinked or trapped? The wrong detergent/fab- ric softener has been poured into the dis- penser(s). Dispenser(s):

en Faults and what to do about them 50 The spin result is not sat- isfactory. Laundry wet/too damp. ■ Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system has interrupted the spin cycle because the laundry is unevenly distributed. Distribute small and large items of laundry evenly in the drum. ■ Is p (Easy iron) additional programme setting selected (depending on the model)? ■ Is Á (Silent) additional programme setting or Silent programme selected (depending on the model)? ■ Is the selected spin speed too low? The spin cycle runs sev- eral times. Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbalance. Residual water in the dis- penser for care product. ■ Not a fault – effect of the care product not impaired. ■ If required, remove the insert. Clean the detergent drawer and re-insert it. Compartment M is not rinsed out completely. Remove the insert. Clean the detergent drawer and reinsert it. The programme is taking longer than usual. ■ Not a fault – the unbalanced load detection system is adjusting an imbal- ance by repeatedly distributing the laundry. ■ Not a fault – the foam detection system is activated – a rinse cycle has been switched on. The length of the pro- gramme changes during the wash/dry cycle. Not a fault – the programme sequence is optimised for the specific washing/ drying process. This may change the length of the programme shown on the Touch-Display. Foam may come out of the detergent drawer. Too much detergent used? Mix 1 tablespoon of fabric softener with ½ litre of water and pour into dispenser II. (Not for outdoor, sports and down-filled textiles!) Reduce detergent dosage for the next wash cycle. Use commercially available low foam detergent and care product which are suitable for machine. Odours, stain formation in the appliance. Run the Drum Clean 90°C programme without laundry. Add washing powder or a detergent containing bleach. Note: To prevent foaming, only use half the amount of detergent recommend- ed by the detergent manufacturer. Do not use detergents designed for woollens or delicates. Loud noises, vibrations and appliance "move- ment" during the spin cycle. ■ Is the appliance aligned? ~ "Alignment" on page 19 ■ Are the appliance's feet fixed? Secure the appliance's feet. ■ Have the transport locks been removed? ~ "Removing the transport locks" on page 15 The Touch-Display indica- tor lights do not work while the appliance is run- ning. ■ Has there been a power failure? ■ Circuit breaker fuses blown? Reset/replace the fuses. ■ If the fault occurs repeatedly, call customer services. Faults Cause/Remedy

Faults and what to do about them en 51 There is detergent resi- due on the laundry. ■ Some phosphate-free detergents contain water-insoluble residue. ■ Select Rinse or brush the laundry after washing. Spin noise during the dry- ing phase. This is an innovative process known as thermal spinning used to reduce energy consumption during the drying phase. Fluff found on the laundry. Run the Drum Clean — (cold) programme without laundry and detergent to remove fluff which have accumulated inside the drum during the previous dry- ing cycle. Water inlet noise during the drying phase. The washer dryer uses water condensation technology, water is constantly needed to dry the laundry. Therefore the water tap must be on all the time, till the end of the drying phase. Drying duration extended. ■ Run the Drum Clean — (cold) programme to remove fluff which has col- lected in the washer drum during the drying phase. ■ If the ambient temperature is higher than 30 °C, this may extend the drying time. ■ Insufficient air circulation in the room may increase the drying time. Venti- late the room. Drying programme does not start. ■ Drying additional programme setting not selected? ■ Door not closed properly? Creasing. ■ Creasing occurs when you have exceeded the maximum load or selected the wrong program for the type of fabric. All the required information can be found in the programme overview table. ■ Remove clothes immediately after drying; creasing may occur if they are left in the drum. Faults Cause/Remedy

en After-sales service 52 4 After-sales service After-sales serviceIf you cannot rectify a fault yourself, (~ "Faults and what to do about them" on page 47), please contact our after- sales service. We will always find an appropriate solution to avoid unnecessary visits by engineers. Please provide the after-sales service with the product number (E-Nr.) and the production number (FD) of the appliance. You can find this information (depending on the model): ■ On the inside of the loading door ■ On the back of the appliance Trust the expertise of the manufacturer. Contact us. By doing so, you can be sure that the repairs are carried out by trained service personnel using genuine spare parts. The drying result is not satisfactory (laundry is not dry enough). ■ After the end of the programme, warm laundry feels damper than it actu- ally is. Spread the laundry out and allow the heat to disperse. ■ Excessively high ambient temperature (above 30 °C) or inadequate ventila- tion in the room in which the washer dryer is situated. ■ The laundry has not been spun well enough before drying. Always set the highest selectable spin speed for the particular washing programme. ■ Washer dryer overloaded: Observe the recommendations for the maximum load in the programme table and on the load display. Do not overload the washer dryer, as the maximum load for the drying phase is less than the maximum load for the wash cycle. Unload the washer dryer after washing with the maximum load and divide the laundry into two drying cycles. ■ The power supply voltage is too low (below 200 V) – provide a suitable power supply. ■ The water pressure is low. According to water condensing principle, low water pressure will cause evaporated steam to not condense properly and completely. ■ The water tap is closed during drying. Due to the use of the water conden- sation technology for drying, please keep the connected water tap open during the drying process, otherwise proper drying cannot be guaranteed. ■ Thick multilayered textiles or textiles with thick fillings dry easily on the sur- face, but not inside. This equalisation process may take longer. For these types of textiles, select drying mode ¾ (Cupboard dry+) or select MyTime with Dry. If you cannot rectify a fault yourself (after switching the appliance off and on again) or a repair is required: ■ Switch off the appliance and pull out the mains plug. ■ Turn off the water tap and call customer service.
