Possible Reasons For Increased Levels Of Foaming - Miele W 6073 (MC 23) Operating Instructions Manual

Possible reasons for increased
levels of foaming
– detergent type
^ Only use detergent formulated for use in
commercial washer extractors. Domestic
laundry detergent is not suitable.
– overdosing of detergent
^ Dispense detergent following the
detergent manufacturer's instructions on
the packaging and in accordance with
local water hardness levels.
– detergent creates too much foam
^ Use a lower foaming detergent or contact
your detergent application specialist.
– very soft water
^ In areas with hardness level 1 dispense
less detergent in accordance with the
detergent manufacturer's instructions.
– soiling level of the laundry
^ For lightly soiled laundry dispense less
detergent in accordance with the
detergent manufacturer's instructions.
– residues, e.g. detergent are left on laundry
^ Run an additional pre-wash without
detergent and without selecting a
temperature. Laundry which has been
soaked before washing must be
thoroughly rinsed before running a wash
programme.
– small loads
^ Reduce the amount of detergent
dispensed according to the size of the
load.

Problem solving guide
Laundry is either not spun at all or not
spun satisfactorily.
^ The " w No final spin" button was pushed
in.
^ The machine was not able to distribute the
laundry load evenly. To protect the
machine, laundry was either only spun at a
reduced speed or not at all.
^ Large items which tangle or roll up in the
drum (e.g. bath mats) can cause an
imbalance during the spin cycle.
For safety reasons, the machine does not
spin if this is the case. Attempts to build up
spin speed are repeated, however, until
the time allocated to spinning has expired.
^ It is therefore important to make up mixed
loads consisting of large and small items.
^ The drain system may be clogged. Clean
as described in section "Cleaning and
Care".
The " n " indicator light flashes.
The machine has switched off because of
serious imbalance.
^ Switch the on-site mains switch off and
then on again, or open the drum door with
the emergency release as described in
"Opening the door in a power cut".
The machine shakes during the spin
cycle.
The most likely cause is that the four
machine feet are not resting securely on the
floor.
^ Level the machine as described in "Notes
for the installer".
