The TLW family at a glance
The TLW family is the Avanti washers whose model numbers begin TLW, and four of them sit in the table below. This page is a map rather than a repair guide: it names the fault classes that come up on this family and sends you to the page that diagnoses each one.
What goes wrong on these models, and which page covers it
- Abnormal noise or vibration — Covered by the TLW page for this class.
- Cycle will not run or complete — See the TLW page for this fault.
- Will not drain or spin — See the TLW page for this fault.
- Water leak — Covered by the TLW page for this class.
- Will not start or no power — Diagnosed on its own TLW page, linked below.
Problem classes on TLW, most frequent first
- An unbalanced load — It leads because a single heavy item — a towel, a mat, a duvet — puts the drum out of balance and the machine has no way to fix it.
- A restricted or absent water supply — It leads because it is free to check and because it produces the most baffling symptom — a machine that appears to be doing nothing at all.
- A blocked pump filter or coin trap — It leads because it is the one part of the drain path the maker intends the owner to open, and because most machines that will not drain have nothing else wrong.
- An inlet hose or tap connection weeping — It leads because a supply leak is both the most common and the most damaging — it runs whether the machine is on or not.
- No supply at the outlet, the plug or the breaker — First, because it is the most common and the cheapest to rule out: a shared outlet, a tripped breaker, a plug not seated.

When to call a technician
Most of what goes wrong on this family is owner territory: cleaning, levelling, loading, seals and the filters and hoses you can reach without a panel coming off. The line falls where a meter, a sealed system or a live terminal is involved, and each linked page says exactly where that is for its own fault.
