Minor faults
you can rectify
yourself
28
There may still be transport packing in your washing machine, or
your machine has not been properly installed and rocks from
side to side.
See the installation instructions!
. water runs out from under the machine?
The screw coupling on the supply hose or the hose clip on the
drain hose may be loose.
The drain hose is leaking.
The cover of the drain pump in the plinth (fig. 1/32 E) is not prop-
erly secured after cleaning or emergency emptying. See "Clean-
ing the drain pump", in this section.
. my laundry has not turned out as well as it usually does?
You have added too little detergent.
Underdosage leads to greying of your laundry and to scaling in
your machine.
-nsure more accurate dosage!
You may not have used the correct detergent.
Special heavy soiling has not been pretreated.
idave you correctly selected the programme and temperature?
.. the conditioning rinse was not dispensed and the condition-
er compartment is filled with water?
The syphon in the compartment is not correctly inserted or is
blocked. See "Maintenance and care".
The washing powder compartment has been pulled out when it
should have been dispensing.
.. despite pretreatment, stains are not removed during wash-
ing?
The stains may not be washable. Consult specialist (dry clean-
ers).
..grey spots are found on the finished laundry (so-called
greasy balls)?
Laundry soiled by ointments, fats, oils, or body grease, has been
washed in too little detergent, therefore the amount of detergent
has been insufficient to dissolve the grease. Add more detergent.
Your laundry has been washed at too low a temperature.
. even after the final rinse (rinse-hold), foam is still visible?
Modern detergents cause frothing even in the final rinse water,
however, this is not a negative reflection on the rinsing result.
. conditioner flecks remain on the finished laundry?
This is in most cases likely to be due to the fact that conditioning
rinse - especially that in concentrated form — has directly affected
your laundry.
Wash out these flecks as quickly as possible, and take care when
handling these agents!
.. white detergent residues remain on my laundry after the pro-
gramme has ended?
These residues are insoluble constituents of modern, phospha-
te-free detergents. They are not due to insufficient rinsing.
