Unusual odour. • Rubber parts and the motors may give off a smell when you
first start using the washing machine, but this goes away over
time.

continue.
• If a small load is in the washing machine, it may be detected

during rinse operation.
Before rinsing, the washing machine spins to drain water
remaining from the wash. The water will fill up after that.
During the spin-dry, the
drum stops and rotates
several times.
This is normal. The washing machine has detected an unbalanced
load and is trying to correct it.
Foam and water remain in
the door or door seal.
Although foam and water may remain, it does not have any
influence on the performance of a rinse.
Spin starting is repeated. This is normal. Although spin starting may be repeated, it is a
function made to spin quietly.
