26 - Troubleshooting
- Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining
water . The water will fill up after that .
- The appliance may have detected an unbalanced load,
which is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of
the drum, so rinsing started automatically to correct the
imbalance .
- After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is
drained out and refilled to wash it away . This feature is
called foam detection .
- This is normal; the appliance has detected an unbalanced
load and is trying to correct it .
- Although some foam and water may remain depending
upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent
used, rinse performance is unaffected .
- This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the
spin process to operate quietly .
- The laundry may be too light . If so, add one or two bath
towels .
- The remaining time is estimated and corrected continually .
Thus, the time displayed may change .
- The remaining time increases if extra rinsing and spinning
are required to correct an unbalanced load, which is
caused by the laundry shifting to one side of the drum .
