Symptom

Possible causes

 

 

 

The machine vibrates when spinning

The internal packing has not been removed.

 

The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.

 

The machine is not stable and level (check diagonally).

 

The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.

 

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

The door will not open

The programme is still running.

 

The door lock has not yet released (the “door” light is still on).

 

Water in the tub: the door cannot be opened if water is present in the

 

 

tub.

 

 

 

Spinning starts late or the machine

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the

does not spin

 

laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is

 

 

redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several

 

 

times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.

 

 

If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the

 

 

drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load

 

 

manually and reselect the spin programme.

 

 

 

The machine makes an unusual

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual

noise

 

noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures

 

 

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 without affecting performance.
