General Troubleshooting - Baumatic BWMI1216 Instruction Manual

General troubleshooting

Water under the washing machine
o Tighten the drain pump filter.
o Check the drain and inlet hose and make sure that they are fully
tightened.
Washing machine vibrates during the spin cycle
o Check that the transit bolts have been removed (see installation
instructions).
o Make sure that the washing machine is installed on a flat and level
floor.
o Ensure that all four feet are resting firmly on the floor, by pressing
down on each corner and making sure that the appliance is stable.
o If it is unstable then follow the "Positioning and levelling the
appliance" section.
Poor spin results
o Clean the drain pump (see "Cleaning the drain pump filter" section).
Water in the detergent dispenser
o Although there will be some water residue left in the detergent
drawer after a wash cycle has completed. If the drawer is full of
water then you may need to clean the detergent drawer.
Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin
o The imbalance control system has activated because the laundry is
unevenly distributed in the drum.
o The appliance will redistribute the laundry by reversing the drum
rotation. This may take several attempts before the laundry is
evenly distributed and normal spinning can resume.
o If the laundry is still not evenly distributed after 10 minutes, the
machine will not spin. In the event of this, redistribute the load
manually and select the programme again.
Uneven load distribution can be caused by too large a wash
load or too small a wash load. It can also occur if a single item
is washed inside the appliance.
