Fault Checklist
Problem
No water flows into
the appliance during
the rinsing process.
Rinsing begins
before the spin
process finishes.
During spin-dry,
the drum stops and
rotates several times.
Foam and water
remain in the door or
door seal.
Spin cycle repeatedly
starts and stops.
The displayed
remaining time
changes.
28 - Troubleshooting
- Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining
water. The water will fill up after that.
- The appliance may have detected an unbalanced load,
which is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of
the drum, so rinsing started automatically to correct the
imbalance.
- After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is
drained out and refilled to wash it away. This feature is
called foam detection.
- This is normal; the appliance has detected an unbalanced
load and is trying to correct it.
- Although some foam and water might remain depending
upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent
used, the performance of the rinse cycle is unaffected.
- This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the
spin process to operate quietly.
- The laundry may be too light. If so, add one or two bath
towels.
- The remaining time is estimated and corrected continually.
Thus, the time displayed may change.
- The remaining time increases if an extra rinsing and
spinning are required to correct an unbalanced load, which
is caused by the laundry shifting to one side of the drum.
