Before calling, read the following

Troubleshooting

Your washer-dryer could fail to work.  In most cases, the problems arising

can be easily solved without  having to call for a technician. Before calling

for assistance, always check these points.
The washer-dryer fails

to start.

Is the plug correctly

inserted into the socket? It

could have been moved whilst

cleaning.
Is there electricity in the

house?

A circuit breaker could have

gone off, perhaps because too

many appliances are on at the

same time. Or perhaps because

of a general power failure in

your entire area.
Is the washer-dryer door

closed properly?

For safety reasons, the washer-

dryer cannot work if the door

is open or not shut properly.
Is the On/Off button

pressed?

If it is, then a programmed

start has been set.

Is the programmed start

knob, on those models

concerned, in the correct

position?
Is the water tap open? For

safety reasons, if the washer-

dryer does not load water, it

cannot start a wash cycle.

RIGHT

       WRONG

Close the tap

after every wash

cycle.

Limit the use of

the washer-dryer’s

hydraulic system

and eliminate

leakage risks

when no-one is at

home.

Always leave the

appliance door

ajar to avoid bad

odours.

Clean the

appliance’s

exteriors

delicately.

To clean the

exteriors and the

rubber parts of

the appliance,

always use a rag

dipped in

lukewarm water

and soap.

Leave the washer-

dryer plugged in while

cleaning.

Even during mainte-

nance, the appliance

should always be

unplugged.

Use solvents and

aggressive abrasives.

Never use solvents or

abrasives to clean the

external and rubber

parts of the washer-

dryer.

Neglect the detergent

dispenser.

It is removable and

can easily be cleaned

by leaving it under

running water.

Go on holiday without

thinking about her.

Before leaving, always

make sure that the

washer-dryer is

unplugged and that

the water tap is

closed.

The washer-dryer

fails to load water.

Is the tap correctly

attached to the pipe ?
Is there a water shortage ?

There could be work in

progress in your building or

street.
Is there enough pressure?

The autoclave may be

malfunctioning.

Is the tap filter clean? If the

water is very calcareous, or if

work has recently been carried

out on the water piping, the tap

filter could be clogged with

particles and debris.

Is the rubber hose bent? The

tract of the rubber hose

bringing water to the washer-

dryer must be as straight as

possible. Make sure it is not

squashed or bent.

The programme

selector knob keeps

turning?

Wait a few minutes for the

drain pump to empty the tub,

switch Margherita off, select

one of the symbols stop/reset

, then switch it back on. If

the knob continues to turn, call

for assistance because it is

reporting an anomaly.

The washer-dryer

continuously loads

and unloads water.

  Is the drain hose

positioned too low? It must

be installed at a height ranging

from 60 to 100 cm.
  Is the hose’s mouth

immersed in water?
 Does the wall drainage

system have a breather

pipe? If the problem persists

even after these checks, close

the water tap, switch the

appliance off and call for

assistance.

If you live on an upper floor of

your building, there may be a

problem with your drain trap.

To solve this problem, a special

valve must be installed.

Simple: with the new Ariston technology,  you need less than

half of it, to get good results on twice as much!

This is why you cannot see the water through the door:

because there is little, very little of it, to respect the

environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness.

And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.

But where did all the water go?
