Possible cause
Check that all the transit bolts and packing have
been removed.
Check that the machine is not resting against
anything.
Check that the support feet are resting firmly on
the ground.
Check that the laundry is evenly distributed in the
drum.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
The programme is still running.
The door lock has not yet been released.
There is water in drum.
The machine, which is the result of modern
technology, runs in a very economical way with
low water consumption. Performance is
nevertheless excellent.
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 6 minutes,
the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case,
redistribute the load manually and select the spin
programme.
The machine is fitted with a commutator motor
which makes an unusual noise compared with
other traditional machines. This motor enables a
softer start to the spin and controls the increase in
spin speed better. In this way, machine
performance is improved.
