The WA 50050 has a notorious issue with the fabric softener compartment siphoning too early. The new manual includes a diagram showing how high to trim the internal rubber siphon tube (exactly 2cm from the top) to fix this.
| Problem | Likely Cause (from manual) | |--------|----------------------------| | Won’t start | Door not fully closed / Child lock on (hold Temp+Spin 3 sec) | | No water | Tap off / Inlet filter clogged (check behind hose connection) | | Not draining | Pump filter blocked (emergency drain hose behind bottom flap) | | Vibrating heavily | Transport bolts still installed (must remove before use) | | Cycle takes too long | Overloading or unbalanced load – redistributes manually |
