Problem
• Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin.
Possible cause
Solution
• The unbalance detection device
that prevents excessive vibration
during spinning and ensures a
stable position has cut in.
• If the laundry is not evenly
distributed inside the drum at the
beginning of the spin cycle, the
machine detects this and tries to
redistribute it more evenly by
means of a few drum rotations.
Only when the laundry is more
evenly distributed will the spin
cycle be performed, eventually at
a lower speed, if the laundry is
not yet evenly distributed. If, after
about 10 minutes, the laundry is
still tangled, the machine will not
spin. Therefore, if the laundry is
still wet at the end of the cycle, it
is advisable to redistribute it
manually inside the drum and to
select the spin programme again.
Unsatisfactory washing results
If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found
in the drum
• Too little detergent has been used.
• An unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
• The programme/temperature has not been
correctly selected.
If grey stains remain on the laundry
• Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has
been washed with an insufficient amount of
detergent.
• The temperature selected for the wash programme
was too low.
• Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type -
has come into direct contact with the laundry.
Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric
softener carefully.
Foam is still visible even after the last rinse
• Modern detergents often produce foam, even in
the last rinse. However the laundry has been
completely rinsed.
White residue is left on the laundry
• This is due to insoluble components in modern
detergents and is therefore not the result of
insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In
future, it may be better to turn garments inside out
before washing them. Check the choice of
detergent; try using liquid detergents.
