Problem
Possible cause/Solution
Spinning starts late or the ma-
chine 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 10 minutes, the laun-
dry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In
this case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spin-
ning programme.
The machine does not dry or
does not dry properly:
The drying time has not been selected.
• Select the drying time.
The water tap is not turned on.
• Open the water tap.
The drain filter is clogged.
• Clean the drain filter.
The machine is overloaded.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The selected drying time or the drying programme was not suitable for the
laundry.
• Select the suitable drying time/programme for the laundry.
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 display shows the alarm
code EF0:
Anti-flooding system has activated.
• Disconnect the appliance, close the water tap and contact the Service
Force Centre
The display shows the alarm
code EC1:
The inlet valve is blocked.
• Pull out the plug from the power socket, close the water tap and contact
the Service Force Centre.
The laundry is full of different
colored fluff: :
The fabrics washed in the previous cycle released fluff of a different color .
• The drying phase helps to eliminate some fluff.
• Clean the clothes with a fluff remover.
In case of an excessive amount of fluff in the drum run the special pro-
gramme to clean it (refer to “FLUFF IN THE FABRICS” for more details).
