Problem
Possible cause/Solution
Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laun-
dry 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 mi-
nutes, the laundry 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
spinning programme.
The machine makes an un-
usual 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 spin-
ning, 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 does not dry or
does not dry properly:
The drying time or the dryness degree has not been selected.
• Select the drying time or the dryness degree.
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 in the drum.
The selected drying programme, time or dryness degree was not suita-
ble for the laundry.
• Select the suitable drying programme, time or dryness degree for the
laundry.
The laundry is full of differ-
ent colored fluff:
The fabrics washed in the previous cycle released fluff of a different col-
or (refer to “Fluff in the garments” in chapter “Use - Washing & Drying”).
• 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 repeat the following
procedure twice:
• Thoroughly clean the empty drum, the gasket and the door with a wet
rag.
• Perform a rinse cycle.
• Put a wool or piled fabric rag inside the drum.
• Perform a drying cycle of 10 minutes.
• Remove the old wool cloth.
Now you can wash other garments.
