Problem
The machine vibrates or is noisy:
Spinning starts late or the machine does not
spin:
The machine does not dry or does not dry
properly:
The machine makes an unusual noise:
No water is visible in the drum:
Possible cause/Solution
The transit bolts and packing have not been re-
moved.
• Check the correct installation of the appli-
ance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
• Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the
drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.
The electronic unbalance detection device has
cut in because the laundry is not evenly distrib-
uted in the drum. The laundry is redistributed
by reverse rotation of the drum. This may hap-
pen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears and normal spinning can resume. If, after
some minutes, the laundry is still not evenly
distributed in the drum, the machine will not
spin.
• The laundry load is perhaps to little, add
more items, redistribute the load manually
and then select the spinning programme.
The drying time has not been selected.
• Select the drying time.
The water tap is not turned on.
• Open the water tap.
The drain filter is clogged.
• Clean the drain filter.
The machine is overloaded.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The selected drying time or dryness degree was
not suitable for the laundry.
• Select the suitable drying time or the dryness
degree for the laundry.
The machine is fitted with a type of motor
which makes an unusual noise compared with
other traditional motors. This new motor en-
sures a softer start and more even distribution
of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as
well as increased stability of the machine.
Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water with-
out affecting performance.
