Operating instructions What to do when… 3 The somewhat different, in comparison to older washing machines, whistling noise during spinning is due to the modern drive system. A rattling sound on startup – in particular when using for the first time – is caused by the circulation pump and is due to the design. Trouble Shooting In the case of a malfunction try to solve the problem with the aid of the notes given here.
