
Check that the 2 balance rings in the inner bowl contain water. Check the bowl weight.

Check for noisy suspension rods.

If the inner bowl or agitator is noisy, check for obstructions. Check the spline drive is clean. If
there is a grating sound, check the single stainless steel washer beneath the spline drive.

If the motor is abnormally noisy, chipped or cracked Rotor magnets are unlikely to affect the
noise.

If the pump is noisy, check for obstructions. Change parts as necessary.

11.4 Continuous or Slow Spinning

The most likely cause of slow or continuous spinning is 'Out of Balance'. To correct this, refer to
section 5.6.5.
Too much detergent can cause final spin to stop and re-spin 4 times. This is due to suds build up
between the inner bowl and outer bowl, and normally will sound a User Warning.
A more likely cause of slow spinning is the Hot Bowl Flag (Refer to Section 5.1.6).

11.5 Siphoning

Typically this occurs when the Standpipe height is too low. The minimum is 850mm from the floor.
This is 90mm ABOVE the drain hose outlet on the machine. With a very low standpipe and a very
high water level, this could result in water pouring down the standpipe prior to the machine
completing fill and resulting in no water in the bowl during agitate.
If the drain hose is pushed too far into the standpipe or drain, the machine will siphon during rinse,
which could result in a 'No Taps' user warning.
Siphoning can result from a restricted drain hose or partial pump block.
