Problem

Cause

W

ashing machine

Buttons do not work.

The programme, temperature, preset time, or Krótkie 

 -

pranie (Time Saver) function settings cannot be changed 

while washing is in progress.

Child lock may be activated. (See page 26.)

 -

Door does not open.

Door lock may be activated. (See page 17.)

 -

The water temperature or level may be too high. (See 

 -

page 17.)

Unusual odour

Rubber parts may give off a smell when you start using 

 -

the appliance, but the smell will go away over time.

You can wash the drum by running the 90 °C programme. 

(See page 28.)

W

ash

No water going into 

the appliance.

The water tap might be turned off.

 -

The water-supply hose may be frozen. (See page 29.)

 -

The water supply may be disrupted.

 -

The water-supply filter may be clogged. (See page 29.)

 -

There is only a small 

amount of water.

If you have paused the washing and then restart it, the 

 -

appliance may drain out some water. 

Do NOT pour water in through the door.

Water builds up 

during the washing.

This is normal; water is automatically supplied if the 

 -

amount of water has decreased. For heavy loads, the 

water may fill up repeatedly.

Rinse/Spin

No water flows into 

the appliance during 

the rinsing process.

Before rinsing, the appliance spins to drain out remaining 

 -

water. The water will fill up after that.

Rinsing begins 

before the spin 

process finishes.

After washing, excess foam may remain, so the water is 

 -

drained out and refilled to wash it away. This feature is 

called foam detection. 

During spin-dry, 

the drum stops and 

rotates several times.

This is normal; the appliance has detected an unbalanced 

 -

load and is trying to correct it.

Foam and water 

remain in the door or 

door seal.

Although some foam and water might remain depending 

 -

upon the state of the laundry and the amount of detergent 

used, the performance of the rinse cycle is unaffected.

Spin cycle repeatedly 

starts and stops.

This is normal; intermittent spinning of the tub helps the 

 -

spin process to operate quietly.
The laundry may be too light. If so, add one or two bath 

 -

towels.

The laundry is still 

wet after the spinning 

finishes.

An unbalanced load is not corrected automatically.

 -

If the laundry is too light, add one or two bath towels.

 -

If the laundry gets tangled up, untangle it.
