Problem Possible cause
• Spinning starts late or the laundry is
not spun enough:
• 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 few minutes, the
laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum,
the machine will spin at a lower speed or will not
spin. If at the end of the programme the laundry is
not spun enough, redistribute the load manually
and select the spin programme.
• No water is visible in the drum • Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water without
affecting performance.
• The machine makes an unusual noise • 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.
• The door will not open: • The programme is still running, the drum is turning.
• The door lock has not yet released.
• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
• The machine is heating the water.
