▶
The spin speed is too high.
The next time you run a wash cycle, set a lower spin speed.
▶
The load is too large.
The next time you run a wash cycle, reduce the amount of laundry being loaded.

Redistribute the laundry in the drum.
▶
Note: Where possible, mix large and small items in the drum. Different sized items of laun-
dry distribute themselves better during the spin cycle.
Start the
Spin programme.
▶
Unbalance load detection system is using a reduced spin speed to eliminate an unbalance.
Redistribute the laundry in the drum.
▶
Note: Where possible, mix large and small items in the drum. Different sized items of laun-
dry distribute themselves better during the spin cycle.
Start the
Spin programme.
