• I have a machine less than 2 years old. Today a key symbol appeared on the display and a noise when I tried to start the machine. The door was properly closed but the machine would not start. I've tried it after turning off the main power and then reconnecting but it still has the symbol, noise and no start. Can you advise?

  • it is a safety lock to ensure you don't press the buttons by accident! Gently press the start button for about 15 seconds and it will go off. Do the same again to use it.

• youve put the child lock on

  • Hi - how do you turn off the Child Lock - looks like I have the same problem - key is displayed & beeps with every button I press !!

    • Hi, press and hold the start button for the 20th seconds. Child lock will off

      • Thank you :) I kept pressing against the power button and it would beep, continuing washing but when it finished and I wanted to reload with the key symbol kept flashing. I was about to download the manual and saw the very question I needed answering and you gave it....yay. Thanks so much.

• My machine wont finish a wash cycle it keeps saying e 18..any help ??

  • Water level too low
    The machine has not filled with enough water and this can be caused by the water valve. Try to clean aquastop.

    • I have this machine less than 1 year but for the last couple days always stop and beeping and give E18 any body can help please

      • Hello, E18 indicates a time out draining.

        Check drain pump filter
        Check drain pump for blockage or restriction
        Check drain hose for blockage or constipation
        Check drain pump operation
        Check drain pump wiring

    • Where do I find tge aquastop. Experience same problem. Not enough water to wash load.

• machine will not start dial showing c l

• Great informations on washing machine. I needed to get something for my wife, I guess I found it!

• I have broken the door hinge but have been unable to strip the door to replace it. The door appears to be held together by plastic rivets rather than screws. How are the plastic fasteners removed ?

  • Hi I have the same problem with the plastic rivets did you manage to remove them, if so could you kindly let me know.
    Many thanks Marc.

• I have this machine and love it however I have noticed that when I delay the start of my wash 4hours comes up automatically I can't seem to delay it by 1, 2 or 3 hours. The strangest thing is that it doesn't wait 4 hours it starts in 1???? Very confused is this right? Thanks

  • It is not right, I recommend washing machine disconnected from electricity for half an hour. If that fails, it will have to replace the control module

  • I think it ends in 4 hours, not starts in 4 hours.

  • The 4 hours time is the time of finishing the program and not starting it.

    • Fills with water? It shows an error message?

• My machine is 7months old. Sometimes when doing a rinse or spin, the wash button flashes. It doesn't spin properly either. Any ideas ? I get E17 every so often which disappears when I press the start button. Thank you

  • Fault E17 is: Water level to high, check flow sensor

• In my washing machine, start /stop button not working and no light displaying. All other functions are displaying.

• Hi,my machine started leaking heavily during the wash..could you suggest a reason? It was working fine

  • HI, water flows onto the floor?
