Water Drain Error
The water is not draining away either at all or too slow, triggering this error.

You may need to manually drain the machine, prepare the area before you start. You may need a shallow dish, bowl or towels to catch the water draining from the appliance.

Check the pump filter for blockages:
  • Open the pump filter cover to access the pump filter.
  • Place a container or towel below or as close to the pump filter housing as you can, upon opening the pump filter it will release any water still in the machine.
  • Twist the pump filter anti-clockwise to unlock it from its housing, the water stuck in the machine will now begin to empty out.
  • Clean away any debris trapped inside the pump filter housing and replace, twisting the pump filter clockwise to lock it in to place.
  • Replace the pump filter cover.
