Symptom

The door will not open

Possible causes

The programme is still running.

Water in the tub: the door cannot be opened if water is present in the tub. 

Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not  evenly distributed  in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
If, after 20 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the
drum, the machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load
manually and reselect the spin programme.

The machine makes an unusual
noise

The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a
softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when
spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.

No water is visible in the drum

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water  without affecting performance.

The machine vibrates when spinning

The machine is not stable and level (check diagonally).

The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
