Problems with opening/closing or a "buzzing" sound

Problem
The drum opening is not
in the upper position.
The outer lid cannot be
opened.
42
Possible cause
An imbalance has
prevented automatic
drum positioning.
The machine is not
connected to the
electricity supply.
The machine is not
switched on.
Power cut.
For safety reasons the lid cannot be opened if the
suds temperature is higher than 55°C.
Remedy
Turn the drum by hand to
the correct position.
Always mix large and small
items in a load to avoid
imbalance. Mixing both
large and small items in the
load gives better wash
results and also helps
distribute the load evenly to
keep the machine stable
and reduce the noise level
during spinning.
Insert the plug in the socket
and switch on.
Switch the machine on with
the I-ON / 0-OFF button.
Open the lid as described at
the end of this section.
