Problem Possible cause/Solution
The machine vibrates
or is noisy:
The transit bolts and packing have not been re-
moved.
Check the correct installation of the appliance.
The support feet have not been adjusted
Check the correct levelling of the appliance.
The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
Load more laundry.
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 rota-
tion of the drum. This may happen several times be-
fore the unbalance disappears and normal spinning
can resume. If, after some minutes, the laundry is still
not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will
not spin.
The laundry load is perhaps to little, add more
items, redistribute the load manually and then se-
lect the spinning 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.

The selected drying time or dryness degree was not
suitable for the laundry.
Select the suitable drying time or the dryness de-
gree 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 tradi-
tional 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 af-
fecting performance.
The display shows the
alarm code
:
Anti-flooding system has activated.
Pull out the plug from the power socket, close the
water tap and contact the Service Force Centre.
