Frequently Asked Questions - BWT 6312 E BRANDT

What to do if the washing machine does not start?

Check the following: Is the appliance plugged in and is there power? Did you press the Start/Pause button? Did you set a delayed start? Refer to error codes d01 (water tap closed) and d07 (lid not closed properly or drum blocked).

How to clean the pump filter?

Unlock the part at the bottom of the drum by pressing with a pencil into the hole then push to the right. Turn the drum forward, remove the filter, remove objects, rinse it under the tap, then reposition everything by clicking it back into place.

What does error code d02 mean?

Code d02 indicates that the pump filter is clogged. Clean the filter as indicated in section 4.3 of the manual.

Why is the laundry not spun well?

Possible causes: program without spin or with limited speed, poor distribution of laundry in the drum (unfold laundry and restart spin), or incorrect height of the drain hose (check figure 1.3).

How to use the delayed start?

Select your program, press the Delayed start button several times to choose the delay (max 19h), then confirm with Start/Pause. The display shows the remaining time before start.

Can I add laundry during the wash cycle?

Yes, press Start/Pause to interrupt the cycle (not possible during spin). Wait for the lid to unlock (a few minutes if temperature is high), add or remove laundry, then restart with Start/Pause.

How to avoid bad odors?

Follow the installation instructions for the drain hose, leave the lid open after each cycle, and run a cycle at 60°C or 90°C once a month.

What to do in case of strong vibration during spin?

Check that the washing machine is properly unblocked (removal of transport braces) and that the floor is level. If necessary, adjust the adjustable feet.

How to clean the dispenser drawer?

Unlock the drawer by pressing on the bosses, pull it towards you. Remove the siphons, separate the drawer from the trim, rinse everything under the tap, then reassemble and replace the whole unit.

d02 The pump filter is clogged ; clean the filter (paragraph 4.3).5.3

Here are a few points to check :

Problems : Causes / Remedies :
The washing machine will not start :	- The appliance is not plugged in or there is a power cut.- You haven't pressed the «Start/Pause» buttonF.- You have programmed a delayed start.- See problems 5.1 and 5.2.
The linen is not or not sufficiently spun :	- You have selected a programme without spin drying or with limited spin drying.- The spin safety system has detected poor distribution of the washing in the drum : unfold the linen and programme another spin cycle.- Check the height of the curved drain partH (Diagram 1.3).
A puddle of water forms on the floor :	First remove the plug from the socket and turn off the water supply.- Check that the sealsAC fitted and the connectors are tightened (Diagram 1.2).- Check the curved part is positioned correctlyH (Diagram 1.3).
Strong vibrations when spin drying :	- The washing machine has not been released correctly (Diagram 1.1.3).- The floor is not level (paragraph 1.4).
The machine does not drain : - You have programmed «Full drum stop».- The drain hose is bent or squashed (Diagram 1.3).- See problem 5.3.
The lid does not open : - The programme has not yet finished.-Wait until the temperature inside the machine drops.
The drum is blocked :	- If you have access, check that a small item of linen is not trapped between the drum and the tank, by removing partAfrom the bottom of the drum (Diagram 4.2).- See problem 5.2.
The drum doors open very slowly (on machines fitted with gently opening doors) :	- Your machine has not operated for a long time.- It is located in too cold a position.- Detergent residue (powder) is blocking the hinges.- in all cases, everything returns to normal after the doors have opened initially.

Note on operation - this is not an incident :

The programme time decreases or increases during the wash

This is not a fault. The length of time displayed at the start of the programme is updated according to the load in the machine (automatic weighing). This guarantees perfect washing results and water and energy consumption appropriate to the load. This is normal. The spin safety and anti-foam systems may extend the initial programme time displayed.
