Problem

Possible cause

 

 

• The door will not open:

• The programme is still running, the drum is turning.

 

• The door lock has not yet released.

 

• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.

 

• The machine is heating the water.

 

 

• Spinning starts late or the laundry is

• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut

not spun enough:

in because the 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 few minutes, the

 

laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,

 

the machine will spin at a lower speed or will not

 

spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is

 

not spun enough, redistribute the load manually

 

and select the spin programme.

 

 

• No water is visible in the drum

• Machines based on modern technology operate

 

very economically using very little water without

 

affecting performance.

 

 

• 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 ensures a softer

 

start and more even distribution of the laundry in

 

the drum when spinning, as well as increased

 

stability of the machine.

 

 

If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact your nearest service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the model, serial number and purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre will require this information.
