Creasing.

The spin speed is too high.

The next time you run a wash cycle, set a lower

spin speed.

The load is too large.

The next time you run a wash cycle, reduce the

amount of laundry being loaded.

The wrong programme is selected for the type of fab-

ric.

Detergent or fabric

softener drips off the

seal and collects on

the door or in the seal

fold.

Too much detergent/fabric softener in the detergent

drawer.

When dosing liquid detergent and fabric softener,

observe the marking in the detergent drawer and

do not dose above this.

The spin result is not

satisfactory. The laun-

dry is too wet/too

damp.

A low spin speed is selected.

The next time you run a wash cycle, set a higher

spin speed.

Spin

 programme.

Drain pipe or water outlet hose is blocked.

Clean the drain pipe and the water outlet hose.

Drain pipe or water drain hose is caught or jammed.

Ensure that the drain pipe and water drain hose are

not kinked or trapped.

The unbalanced load detection system has interrupted

the spin cycle because the laundry is unevenly distrib-

uted.

Redistribute the laundry in the drum.

Note: 

Where possible, mix large and small items in

the drum. Different sized items of laundry distribute

themselves better during the spin cycle.

Start the 

Spin

 programme.

Unbalance load detection system is using a reduced

spin speed to eliminate an unbalance.

Redistribute the laundry in the drum.
