Frequently asked questions
Possible cause and solution
The machine feet are not level and not secured.
 Level the machine and adjust the feet correctly.
This is not a fault. These slurping noises occur at the
start and end of a pump sequence as a normal part
of the operation.
The water pressure is too low.
 Clean the filters in the water intake.
Powder detergent used in conjunction with water
softeners tends to become sticky.
 Clean the detergent dispenser drawer and in fu-
ture, add detergent first and then the water soft-
ener.
The siphon is not correctly positioned or is clogged
up.
 Clean the siphon (see "Cleaning the detergent dis-
penser drawer" under "Cleaning and care").
A different language has been selected.
 Switch the washing machine off and on again.
The selected supervisor language appears in the dis-
play.
The supervisor language has been changed.
 Select the language you require (see "Language"
under "Supervisor level").
The machine detected a high level of imbalance dur-
ing the final spin and reduced the spin speed auto-
matically.
 Include both large and small items in the load as
this will achieve better distribution.
The small pipe in the detergent dispenser drawer onto
which the cap is placed is blocked.
 Clean the small pipe.
This is not a fault. For technical reasons, a small
amount of water will remain in the cap.
