Smeg laundry machine: water drains out as fast as it fills

What to do when Product directly discharges the water it takes in shows on the applianceKind of codeWater supply and drain
The new appliance is reporting what it gets from the water connections behind it. A no-water or slow-fill message on the first fill usually means the supply valve is still closed or only half open, or the new line kinked when the unit slid back; a drain message means the drain hose is pinched, pushed too deep into the standpipe, or looped higher or lower than the installation instructions allow. Open the valve fully, straighten the hose, set it to the height the manual gives, and run the cycle again.

A drain backing up after an install leaves water standing in a new machine, pushes it into the sink or spills it over the top of the standpipe.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Smeg's own guidance for Product directly discharges the water it takes in on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the height of the drain hose where it connects to the standpipe, sink or floor drain.
Raise the hose so it sits within the 16 to 39 inch range the installation instructions set.
Confirm the hose is secured with a strap or clip so it cannot slip lower during a cycle.
If the washer still discharges water immediately once the hose height is corrected, book a visit.
Still there?
It usually turns into water supply and shutoff connection. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
This is a drain-hose placement issue, not a failed drain valve; a washer that drains normally once the hose is raised to the correct height does not need a part replaced.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
