The Door Will Not Open - Electrolux EW 880F Instruction Booklet

Problem

• The door will not open:

• Spinning starts late or the laundry is
not spun enough:
• No water is visible in the drum
• The machine makes an unusual noise
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.
Possible cause
• The programme is still running, the drum is turning.
• The door lock has not yet released. (DOOR pilot
light is on)
• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
• The machine is heating the water.
• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut
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.
• Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water without
affecting performance.
• 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.
