If your washing machine stops midway through a programme, this can either be an intended part of the wash cycle or a fault with the machine. Look through the list of possible issues below to work out what might be wrong and then follow the advice to try to resolve the issue.


  1. Check that you haven't turned on the 'rinse stop' or 'no rinse' function on your machine

  2. My washing machine is not filling with water

  3. My washing machine is not draining

  4. My washing machine is overheating

  5. My washing machine is not heating the water

  6. My washing machine is leaking


1. Check that you haven't turned on the 'rinse stop' or 'no rinse' function on your machine

Quite easy to do, but make sure any 'no rinse' or 'rinse stop' function is turned off or else your washing machine will stop before draining the water out.


2. My washing machine is not filling with water

Check that there is cold water reaching your washing machine and that the cold water filling hose is not kinked or blocked. If this is the problem go to our detailed 'My washing machine is not filling with water' guide.


3. My washing machine is not draining

Check that your washing machine is able to drain water away correctly and that the waste water hose is not kinked or blocked. If this is the problem go to our detailed 'My washing machine is not draining' guide.


4. My washing machine is overheating

If the washing machine stops during the wash cycle when the water should be heated up to the programme temperature, this could be because the water is overheating. Normally you would also see an 'Error Code' on the display.  If this is the problem go to our detailed 'My washing machine is overheating' guide.


5. My washing machine is not heating the water

If your washing machine stops during the first 30 minutes of a programme, it may be because the water is not being heated up sufficiently or at all. Normally you would also see an 'Error Code' on the display. If this is the problem go to our detailed 'My washing machine is not heating the water'.


6. My washing machine is leaking

As a safety precaution, your washing machine may abort a programme if it detects a leak. If this is the problem go to our detailed 'My washing machine is leaking' guide.
