Fault

Cause and troubleshooting

Banging noises, rat-
tling in the drain
pump.

Foreign bodies have got into the drain pump.

→ 

"Cleaning the drain pump", Page 32

Slurping, rhythmical
suction noise.

The drain pump is active, the detergent solution is
pumped out.

Not a fault – normal operating noise.

Creasing.

The spin speed is too high.

The next time you run a wash cycle, set a lower
spin speed.

The load is too large.

The next time you run a wash cycle, reduce the
amount of laundry being loaded.

Unsuitable programme for the type of fabric.

Select the programmes that are suitable for the
type of fabric.

Detergent or fabric
softener drips off the
seal and collects on
the door or in the seal
fold.

Too much detergent/fabric softener in the detergent
drawer.

When dosing liquid detergent and fabric softener,
observe the marking in the detergent drawer and
do not dose above this.

The spin result is not
satisfactory. The laun-
dry is too wet/too
damp.

A low spin speed is selected.

The next time you run a wash cycle, set a higher
spin speed.

Start the 

Spin

   programme.

Drain pipe or water outlet hose is blocked.

Clean the drain pipe and the water outlet hose.

Drain pipe or water drain hose is caught or jammed.

Ensure that the drain pipe and water drain hose are
not kinked or trapped.

The unbalanced load detection system has interrupted
the spin cycle because the laundry is unevenly distrib-
uted.

Redistribute the laundry in the drum.

Note: 

Where possible, mix large and small items in

the drum. Different sized items of laundry distribute
themselves better during the spin cycle.

Start the 

Spin

   programme.

Unbalance load detection system is using a reduced
spin speed to eliminate an unbalance.

Redistribute the laundry in the drum.
