    Hi all,

    I read the manual but doesn’t give me any hints as to why this continuous beeping has begun to happen.

    Any tips?

    Thanks.

    Can you post up the full PNC or product number from the rating plate. It will help us to look up the correct info.

    Hi iadom,

    It’s 914904029-02. I think there may be an obstruction in the outlet pipe as it feels there’s quite a bit of water in there despite the machine being turned off. Will check it

    Water in the machine when turned off is either a faulty inlet valve or poorly routed undersink plumbing that is allowing water to drain back into the machine. Do you mean quite a bit of water in the drum?

    No it’s not in the drum, it’s in the outlet pipe which feels full of water. After a wash, the beeping starts, we see the water still in the drum and then we have to manually select the drain cycle to empty the drum, so it seems water is not draining as easily as it did before. I didn’t think it’s normal for there to be a lot of water in the outlet pipe when the machine is off, so thought it may be worth checking.

    If you have first checked the pump filter then if the outlet pipe is attached to the under sink plumbing then it could well have some obstruction. This should be relatively easy to check.

    This must be quite an old machine looking at the tech. You can enter the diagnostics mode by doing the following.
    1. Switch off the appliance. 2. Press and hold down START/PAUSE and any one of the option buttons simultaneously. 3. Holding down both buttons, switch the appliance on by turning the programme selector one position to the right (clockwise). 4. Continue to hold down the START/PAUSE and option buttons until the LED begins to flash (at least 2 seconds).
    Then turn the main selector knob slowly to the 10th position from OFF and the End of Cycle and the Start/Pause light should start to flash. You need to count the flashes from each light ( End light first ). This will give you the error code.

    Thanks for the advice, so far so good, I cleaned the outlet pipe and the relevant sink pipework and it seems to have done the trick. It’s handy to know how to access the diagnostics mode. If you have info on what each code equates to it could be useful in the future.

    It’s a long list. Any future problems just pop a question on the forums and someone will pick it up.:cool:
