*Final spin results are poor.

Note: the washing machine has an unbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy items are loaded (a bathrobe, for example), this system may reduce the spin speed automatically or interrupt the spin if it detects too great unbalance at the start of the spin, in order to protect the washing machine.

Excessive foam formation may also prevent spinning.

Check whether:

the pump impeller is obstructed (see “Cleaning the foreign body trap”).

if the laundry is still too wet at the end of the programme: possibly add other items of clothing and repeat the spin cycle.

there is foam on the wash: repeat a rinse-spin cycle to eliminate excess of detergent.

Water stop fault (depending on model).

(The pump operates).

The “Water Stop” fault may have been triggered by:

Too much foam.

A leak in the inlet hose or in the washing machine. Switch off the washing machine, unplug it and turn off the water tap.

Tilt the washing machine forwards carefully to allow the water to evacuate from the bottom tray. Reconnect the washing machine.

Turn on water supply (if the machine is switched off, but begins to fill, turn off the water supply and contact After Sales Service).

Reselect the desired programme, add the detergent, if necessary and switch on the machine to restart the programme.

If the fault occurs again, contact After-Sales Service (see “After-Sales Service”).
