11 fault codes documented

E01

E01 — Machine door open

The Washing Machine has detected that its door is not securely closed, preventing the wash cycle from starting or continuing. This error often appears if the door is ajar.

E02

E02 — Low water pressure or level

The Washing Machine is not receiving enough water, or the water level inside the drum is too low for the cycle to proceed. If the problem continues, the machine will stop automatically.

E03

E03 — Pump filter clogged or pump fault

The Washing Machine has detected an issue with the draining system, specifically related to the pump or its filter. This usually means water cannot be properly discharged from the machine.

E04

E04 — Excessive water detected

The Washing Machine has an excessive amount of water inside the drum, indicating a potential overfill or drainage issue. The machine will attempt to discharge the excess water automatically.

Excessive foam

Excessive foam formed in the detergent drawer

Too much foam is produced during the wash cycle, often spilling from the detergent drawer. This indicates an issue with the amount or type of detergent used.

No water intake

Machine does not intake water

The Washing Machine is unable to fill with water, preventing the wash cycle from beginning or progressing. This can be due to problems with the water supply or filters.

No water visible

No water appears in the drum during washing

A user might observe no visible water in the drum during a wash cycle, leading to concern about the machine's operation. However, this is often a normal characteristic of modern Washing Machines.

Not starting

Machine does not start

The Washing Machine fails to power on or begin a wash cycle when instructed. This can be due to a simple power issue or an incorrect setting.

Spinning not performed

Spinning operation not performed or runs late

The Washing Machine is not spinning the laundry, or the spin cycle is delayed. This often happens due to an unbalanced load, activating the machine's control system.

Unsatisfactory washing

Unsatisfactory washing result

Laundry is not coming out clean, or has residues and spots after washing. This indicates issues with detergent use, load, water quality, or programme selection.

Water discharges immediately

Water discharges as soon as machine is loaded

The Washing Machine immediately drains water as soon as it begins to fill, preventing the water level from rising for a wash cycle. This is often caused by incorrect drain hose positioning.
