Possible cause and remedy
The machine feet are not level.
 Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.
The machine detected an imbalance during the final
spin and reduced the spin speed automatically.
 Include both large and small items in the load as
this will give better distribution.
This is not a fault.
These slurping noises occur at the end of the pump
sequence as a normal part of operation.
The water pressure is too low.
 Clean the filter in the water inlet.
 It may be useful to select the Water plus Extra op‐
tion.
Powder detergent used with water softeners can be
sticky.
 Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and in fu‐
ture add washing powder and then add the water
softener.
The siphon tube is not correctly positioned, or is
clogged up.
 Clean the siphon (see "Cleaning and care - Clean‐
ing the detergent dispenser drawer").
