Water in the machine.

balance it homogenously in the machine.

Make sure that the machine is not leaning on anything.

It will resume running when the voltage restores to the normal level.

Programme time does not countdown. (On models with display)

• Timer may stop during water intake. >>> 

Timer indicator will not countdown until the machine takes in adequate amount of water. The 

machine will wait until there is sufficient amount of water to avoid poor washing results due to lack of water. Timer indicator will resume 

countdown after this.

Timer indicator will not countdown until the machine reaches the selected temperature.

distribution of the laundry in the drum. 

• Machine does not switch to spinning step when the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum to prevent any damage to the machine and 

to its surrounding environment. Laundry should be rearranged and re-spun.

detergent drawer.

• Put detergent into the machine suitable for the programmes and maximum loads indicated in the “Programme and consumption table”. 

When you use additional chemicals (stain removers, bleachs and etc), reduce the amount of detergent.

Laundry remains wet at the end of the programme

• Excessive foam might have occurred and automatic foam absorption system might have been activated due to too much detergent usage. 
>>> 

Use recommended amount of detergent.

• Machine does not switch to spinning step when the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum to prevent any damage to the machine and 

to its surrounding environment. Laundry should be rearranged and re-spun.
