2. The payment is not done or direct debit failed. Customers before June 8: Pay your outstanding payment in your account. Customers after June 8: Reactive direct debit in your account on the website. You can change your payment details in the settings section.
First check whether the water comes from the machine itself, from the drain or from the water tap. – If water comes out of the washing machine, contact Homie immediately. – If water comes from the water tap/water hose, turn off the tap and then contact Homie. – If water comes out of the drain, check whether the washing machine drain is still (far enough) in the drain pipe and push it a little further if necessary. If water comes back up and floods out of the drainpipe, the drainpipe is clogged. Contact a plumber for this or try to solve it yourself.
Unplug the washing machine power plug, often the door will automatically unlock itself. If this does not happen, contact Homie. We will then come to open and pobably replace the washing machine door. Do not try to open the door yourself, because this usually causes damage.

The door will be unlocked after 10 seconds. Also check whether the tap to which the washing machine is connected has been turned open completely. Finally, check if the waterhose hose is folded or stuck. E20 – The device does not pump water away. Check whether the drain hose is folded or stuck. E40 – The door is open or not closed properly.
