General problems

Problem
The machine shakes
during the spin cycle.
The laundry has not
been spun properly and
is still wet.
The pump makes
strange noises.
Large amounts of
detergent residue remain
in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Fabric conditioner is not
completely dispensed or
too much water remains
in the § compartment.
The display is in a
different language.

spun satisfactorily.
When laundry is dry, it
feels hard to the touch.
Possible cause
The machine feet are
not level.

reduced the spin speed
automatically.
This is not a fault! These noises occur at the end of
a pump sequence as a normal part of the operation.
The water pressure is
too low.
Powder detergent used
in conjunction with
water softeners tends to
become sticky.
The siphon tube is not
correctly positioned or
is clogged up.
A different language
has been selected
using the "Language
programmable function.
The spin speed
selected was too low.
Too vigorous wash
action.
Not enough detergent
used.
No fabric conditioner
used.
Problem solving guide
Remedy
Level the machine (see
"Installation and
connection").
Include both large and
small items in the load as
this will give better
distribution during
spinning.
– Clean the filter in the
water inlet.
– Activate the "Water plus"
programmable function.
In future, add washing
powder into the dispenser
drawer first, and then add
the water softener.
Clean the siphon (see
"Cleaning and care -
Cleaning the detergent
dispenser drawer").
Set the language you want.
The flag symbol will guide
you.
!
Select a higher spin speed

Programme in gentle
action and more water.
Increase detergent dose to
prevent limescale build-up
in laundry.
