Continuous or Slow Spinning

The most likely cause of slow or continuous spinning is 'Out of Balance'. To correct this, refer to
section 4.8.5.
Too much detergent can cause final spin to stop and respin 4 times. This is due to suds build up
between the baskets, and normally will sound a User Warning.
A more likely cause of slow spinning is the Hot Basket Flag (Refer to Section 4.6).

Siphoning

Typically this occurs when the Standpipe height is too low. The minimum is 33.46in / 850mm from
the floor. This is 3.54 in / 90mm ABOVE the drain hose outlet on the machine. With a very low
standpipe and a very high water level, this could result in water pouring down the standpipe prior to
the machine completing fill and resulting in no water in the basket during agitate.
If the drain hose is pushed too far into the standpipe or drain, the machine will siphon during rinse,
which could result in a 'No Taps' user warning.
Siphoning can result from a restricted drain hose or partial pump block.
