What to do if...
Buttons don’t work.
While the washing machine is washing, you cannot change the
programme, temperature and process settings.
Door doesn’t open
Door lock may be active.
•
The water temperature or level could be too high.
•
Unusual odour
Rubber parts may give off a smell when you first start using
•
the washing machine, but this goes away over time.
You can wash the drum by running the WASH programme
•
once a month.
You can’t see any
water
This is normal: The water level is below the window.
There’s no water going
into the washing
machine
The water tap might be turned off.
•
The water hose or water-supply hose may be frozen.
•
Your water supply may be disrupted.
•
The water-supply valve filter, at the joint of the water-supply
•
hose, may be clogged.
There’s only a small
amount of water
If you have paused the programme and you restart, the
•
washing machine may drain some water.
Don’t pour water in through the door.
•
Water adds up during
washing
This is normal: water is supplied automatically as the level
lowers, and with heavy loads the water may fill up repeatedly.
Water drains away
during washing
This is normal: water often drains and refills to wash off excess
foam. (This is called foam detection.)
There’s no water going
into the washing
machine during rinse
operation
Before rinsing, the washing machine spins to drain water
remaining from the wash. The water will fill up after that.
Rinsing begins before
the spinning finshes
If your laundry has collected to one side of the drum, rinsing
•
will start automatically to correct the imbalance.
If there’s excess foam after washing, water may drain and refill
•
to wash it off. (This is called foam detection.)
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 remains with the state of
clothing and the amount of detergent, it does not have
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.
There’s not much
foam
This can happen if you’ve put powder detergent directly into
•
the drum – you must put it in the detergent drawer.
The amount of foam can vary, depending on the
•
temperature, level and softness of your water.
You may not be using enough detergent.
•
You may be using a reduced-foam type of detergent.
•
Heavily soiled laundry can reduce the amount of foam.
•
Larger loads of laundry can also reduce the amount of foam.
