Problem Possible cause/Solution
The door will not open:
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait until the symbol 9.5 has gone off.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out
the water.
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been re-
moved.
• Check the correct installation of the appli-
ance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the
drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not
spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has
cut in because the laundry is not evenly distrib-
uted in the drum. The laundry is redistributed
by reverse rotation of the drum. This may hap-
pen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after
some minutes, the laundry is still not evenly
distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin.
• The laundry load is perhaps to little, add
more items, redistribute the load manually
and then select the spinning programme.
The machine makes an unusual noise:
The machine is fitted with a type of motor
which makes an unusual noise compared with
other traditional motors. This new motor en-
sures a softer start and more even distribution
of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as
well as increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the drum: Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water with-
out affecting performance.
The display shows the alarm code :
Anti-flooding system has activated.
• Pull out the plug from the power socket,
close the water tap and contact the Service
Force Centre.
