In short
This page profiles the WGG washer line - all seventeen models in the variant table - and routes each fault to the page that carries its diagnosis. Two complaints dominate here: a cycle that will not finish, and a drum that will not empty.
The observable tells
- The drum is full of water at the end of the programme — A drain gate that was never satisfied. The drainage page for this family works the filter, impeller and hose chain in order.
- The cycle only fails on hot programmes — A heating-step fault, which is a narrow and useful finding. The cycle fault page covers that branch.
- The machine will not reach its final spin — Either it cannot balance the load or it cannot drain fully, and both are covered by the cycle and drainage pages respectively.
- Foam at the detergent drawer during fill — Dosing rather than a fault, and the leak page for this family says why the drawer route makes it look like a machine problem.
Ranked causes for these models
- Door lock not confirming — The gate before every other step. A door that looks shut but has not latched stops the machine dead with nothing broken.
- Restricted fill from part-closed taps or blocked inlet filters — The machine waits for water it is not getting and appears to be doing nothing at all.
- Internal hose clip relaxed with vibration — A drum machine shakes its own plumbing loose over years, and the sump and pump clips are the usual ones to go.
- Unbalanced or under-loaded drum — The machine will not spin what it cannot balance, so it retries, extends the cycle and finally gives up with wet clothes.

Problem classes on this family, most reported first
General guidance| Problem class | Relative frequency on this family | What it means for the owner |
|---|---|---|
| Drain path: filter, impeller, hose | Leading cluster on this family | Owner-fixable on every model in this line |
| Load balance and suspension | Common | Free to test with an empty spin |
| Water in: taps, valves, drawer | Common | Mostly dosing and installation rather than parts |
| Door lock and start chain | Less common | Checked before any panel comes off |
| Heating and sensing | Less common | Programme-specific symptoms place it quickly |
| Rotating assembly: bearing, motor | Least common | Bench work, and the only expensive class here |
Based on: No measured denominator: the fact bundle for this family carries no component share, so this ordering is a technician ranking of problem classes and not a share of reports.
Power down first
Safety
Unplug before you start and check the drum is still. A machine interrupted during a spin can hold momentum for a surprising time, and a hand inside a moving drum is the one injury this job actually produces.
Where the owner fix ends
Get a technician if the machine trips the breaker, if you smell anything hot, or if water has reached the mains socket. Electrical faults in a wet cabinet do not improve by being run again.
