Reason
Once washing machine has
started, the door cannot be
opened for safety reasons.
If an imbalance is detected
or if the suds removing
programme is on, the wash
time will increase.
Too much softener may cause
an overflow.
Too much softener may cause
an premature dispensing.
The button cannot be
recognized when the door is
open.
Check water supply tap.
This odour is caused by
the rubber attached to the
washing machine.
If the rubber seal is not
cleaned regularly, odours can
occur from mold or foreign
substances remaining inside
the rubber seal .
Odours can occur if foreign
substances are left in the
drain pump filter.
Odours can occur if the drain
hose is not properly installed,
causing water to flow back
inside the washing machine.
Using the dry function,
odours can occur from lint
and other laundry matter
sticking to the heater. (Dryer
model only)
A distinct odour can occur
from drying wet clothes with
hot air. (Dryer model only)
Solution
• Check if the 'Door Lock' icon
is illuminated. You can safely
open the door after the 'Door
Lock' icon turns off.
• This is normal. The time
remaining shown in the display
is only an estimate. Actual
time may vary.
• Follow softener guidelines to
ensure appropriate amount
is used. Do not exceed the
maximum fill line.
• Follow the guidelines provided
by the detergent manufacturer.
• Close the dispenser drawer
slowly. Do not open the drawer
during the wash cycle.
• Press again after closing the
door.
• Do not overload. Check
that the washing machine is
draining properly to extract
adequate water from the load.
Clothes load is too small to
tumble properly. Add a few
towels.
• Turn off water supply tap.
• It is the normal smell of new
rubber and will disappear after
the machine has been run a
few times.
• Be sure to clean the rubber
seal regularly.
• Be sure to clean the drain
pump filter regularly.
• When installing the drain hose,
be sure that it doesn't bend or
become blocked.
• This is not a malfunction, so
you may continue using the
machine without concern.
• The odour will disappear after
a short while.
