The Door Will Not Open; Unsatisfactory Washing Results - Electrolux EW878F Instruction Booklet

Problem

• The door will not open:

• Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin:
• The machine makes an unusual
noise:
• No water is visible in the drum:

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Detergent residue is left after the
wash cycle:
• Foam remains after the last
rinse:
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem,
contact our service centre. Before telephoning,
make a note of the model, serial number and
purchase date of your machine: the Service Centre
will require this information.
Possible cause
• The programme is still running.
• The door lock has not been released.
• There is water in the drum.
• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in
because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the
drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse
rotation of the drum. This may happen several times
before the unbalance disappears and normal
spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin.
• The machine is fitted with a type of motor which
makes an unusual noise compared with other
traditional motors. This new motor ensures a
softer start and more even distribution of the
laundry in the drum when spinning, as well as
increased stability of the machine.
• Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water without
affecting performance.
• Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has
been used.
• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
• The correct programme was not selected.
• Excessive laundry load.
• This is most problaby due to non soluble
components contained in modern detergents. It is
not a sign of inadequate rinsing.
Brush or shake the garments and, if necessary,
rinse them again.
• Modern detergents can produce foam even after
rinsing, but this will not affect the quality of the
wash.
