● This can happen if you've put powder detergent directly into
the drum – you must put it in the detergent drawer.
● The amount of foam can vary, depending on the
temperature, level and softness of your water.
● You may not be using enough detergent.
● You may be using a reduced-foam type of detergent.
● Heavily soiled laundry can reduce the amount of foam.
● Larger loads of laundry can also reduce the amount of foam.
● The amount of foam can vary, depending on the
temperature, level and softness of your water.
● You may have used too much detergent.
● The type of detergent you use could cause excess foam.
● This can happen if you've put powder detergent directly into
the drum – you must put it in the detergent drawer.
● If your laundry has collected to one side of the drum, water
will be supplied automatically to correct the imbalance – and
this will prevent the foam wash.
● The amount of foam can vary, depending on the
temperature, level and softness of your water.
● You may have exceeded the MAX level on the detergent
drawer. (see page 11)
● You may have spilt the liquid by closing the detergent drawer
too sharply.
● This can happen if you've put powder detergent directly into
the drum – you must put it in the detergent drawer.
● Check there's nothing metal in the drum.
● Make sure the anchor bolts used in transportation have been
removed.
● Check the washing machine is on a flat, stable surface.
● If none of the above seem to be causing the problem,
contact your nearest Customer Service Centre.
● This is normal: it's the pump starting and stopping.
● This is normal: it's the fan cooling electric parts.
● The washing machine will stop, and won't start by itself
when the power comes back on. You'll need to select a
programme and start it again.
● The washing machine will stop, and won't start by itself
when you reset the breaker.
● You'll need to find out what caused the breaker to trip, and
put this right. Then reset the breaker, turn your electricity
supply back on, and start the washing machine again.
● When the water comes back on, it may be impure at first.
You'll need to disconnect the water-supply hose and drain
any impure water through the tap before using your washing
machine again. Remember to re-connect the water-supply
hose first.
● This is probably because your washing machine is in a
brightly lit or sunny position.
