Symptom

The door will not open

● 

The programme is still running.

● 

The door lock has not yet released.

● 

There is water in tub. 

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 machine does not dry or does

not dry properly

● 

The drying time has not been selected

● 

The water taps are not turned on

● 

The drain filter is clogged

● 

The machine is overloaded

● 

The selected drying time or sector are not suitable for the laundry

Possible causes

Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin

● 

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 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load
manually and reselect 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.
