Possible cause/Solution

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The transit bolts and packing have not been

 

 

 

 

removed.

 

 

 

 

 

Check the correct installation of the appli-

 

 

 

 

 

ance.

 

 

The machine vibrates or is noisy:

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The electronic unbalance detection device has

 

 

 

 

cut in because the laundry is not evenly dis-

 

 

 

 

tributed in the drum. The laundry is redistrib-

 

 

 

 

uted by reverse rotation of the drum. This may

 

Spinning starts late or the machine does

 

happen several times before the unbalance

 

 

disappears and normal spinning can resume.

 

not spin:

 

 

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 is fitted with a type of motor

 

 

 

 

 

which makes an unusual noise compared with

 

The machine makes an unusual noise:

 

 

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 oper-

 

 

 

ate very economically using very little water

 

 

 

 

without affecting performance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anti-flooding system has activated.

 

 

The display shows the alarm code

:
