Something Wrong? - Troubleshooting

The machine makes a noise or vibrates too much during the spin cycle.

The transit fixings were not removed correctly (see Installation ‘Remove the transit fixings’) - Failure to remove all the parts of the transit fixings will cause the machine to vibrate excessively during spin.

Note: There are TWO transit fixings that need to be removed - two bolts, two washers, two rubber grommets and two nylon spacers.

The machine is not level (see Installation) - Adjust the feet so that the machine stands firm on the floor (ie, it does not rock) and ensure the machine is level from front to back and from side to side.

The machine is closed in, between furniture cabinets and the wall (see Installation).

Perhaps the machine was attempting to spin an unbalanced load - Try the machine again with a different was load.

When you sort your laundry into wash groups, check all loose items, such as coins are removed from the laundry. Check the drum at the end of each cycle and remove any loose items (coins etc).

Note: ‘Super Silent’ refers to wash sound level only - there will always be some motor and drum noise during spin.
