Problem
Water does not appear
to be filling into the
washer or detergent is
not dispensed from
detergent tray.
Water cannot be seen
in the drum.
Water has not drained
completely.
Water is coming out
from underneath the
washer.
Foam comes out of the
detergent dispenser
drawer.
Repeated spinning.
No spin took place
(laundry is still wet).
Detergent residue on
the laundry.
System shakes or
shudders when spin
speed increases.
Possible cause(s)
Start/Pause not pressed.
Water taps not turned on.
Supply hose kinked or pinched
(reduce flow).
Water supply hose strainers
clogged.
Water pressure too low.
The water level in your high effi-
ciency front load washer is below
the visible part of the drum, this is
normal.
Suds may be excessive (usually
due to too much detergent or non-
HE detergent being used).
Pump is blocked.
Drain hose or drain pipe is blocked. Clean drainage pipe and/or drainage hose.
Water supply hose is leaking: is not
screwed on tight at both ends, or
rubber washer not placed in hose.
Drain hose is leaking.
Too much detergent was used, or a
non-HE detergent was used; pump
was not able to pump out the
increased suds. displays at end
Å
of cycle.
The Unbalanced Load Detection
system is attempting to balance the
load through repeated spin cycles.
Load size too small.
Large items may have become
entangled in the drum and could
not be distributed by the Unbal-
anced Load Detection system; spin
cycle therefore canceled for safety
reasons.
Excessive suds: too much deter-
gent was used, or a non-HE deter-
gent was used. displays at end
Å
of cycle.
No Spin was selected.
Some phosphate free detergents
contain water insoluble ingredients
that may appear as light spots on
the laundry.
The washer drum suspension sys-
tem shifts during spinning as the
speed increases. This may result in
a slight shaking of the washer
during the spin speed transition.
Solution(s)
Press Start/Pause.
Turn on water taps.
Eliminate the cause.
Clean the water inlet strainers.
Eliminate the cause.
No action needed.
Use less detergent for future loads. Be sure to use only
high efficiency HE-detergents.
Check and clean the drain pump, water drain hose
and/or the drain pipe.
Eliminate the cause: tighten the hose (by hand at the
washer end), check for rubber washer in place.
Check the drain hose, be sure that it is on the washer
securely with the clamp in place; replace the drain
hose if leaking continues.
Immediate fix: mix 1 tablespoon of fabric softener with
1/2 liter (1 pint) of water and pour this mixture into the
detergent compartment, except if there is waterproof
type textiles in the load then do not use softener to
reduce the foam.
To prevent: use less detergent for future wash loads.
To prevent: always load the washer with a mixture of
large and small wash items (easier to distribute in the
drum).
Add more laundry.

Select a spin speed setting (Low, Medium or High).
Brush off when laundry is dry or
execute the program Rinse.
Mix small and large laundry items together in the load
to minimize this effect. Check to be sure the washer is
level and all four feet press equally against the floor.
