Symptom / Description

FAULT

Water does not drain from the tank at the end of the cycle or the appliance stops with stagnant water.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The drain system is clogged or the drain pump is defective, preventing proper drainage of water.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Unplug the appliance. 2. Access the drain pump filter and clean it of any debris. 3. Check that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. 4. Check the drain pump impeller to make sure it turns freely. 5. If the problem persists, test the pump electrically and replace it if defective.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Isolate 230V mains power before accessing the lower pump housing.
  • !Prepare a shallow basin and absorption towels: expect 3 to 10 liters of stagnant trapped water upon filter opening.
  • !Beware of sharp foreign objects (broken glass, needles, screws) trapped inside the impeller cavity.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Unscrew coin trap filter and clear all foreign debris (coins, hairpins, bra underwires).
  • Rotate pump impeller manually: synchronous magnetic rotors should snap cleanly in 90° intervals without jamming.
  • Check drain hose for kinks, blockages, or unpunched sink spigots; verify drain height is between 65cm and 100cm.
