Some loads do not suit AUTO water level, eg pillows, bedding, large bulky garments. Manually select the water level.
Auto fill level needs adjusting (refer to pages 22, 23 and 25).
Noises.
Banging – load is out of balance (refer pages 13, 16 and 26).
Other noises – refer page 28.
Small puddle of water coming from under the machine.
The water level is too high for the amount of clothes. This has caused excessive splashing. Use a lower water level (refer to page 13).
Large bulky, garments (eg pillows, duvets) can cause splashing. Wash on DELICATE cycle (QuickSmart™ model) or HAND WASH cycle (WashSmart™ model) (refer to page 16).
