Possible cause/Solution
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.
The door lock has not been released.
• Wait until the door lock is released.
There is water in the drum.
• Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.
The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.
• 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.
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redis-
tributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several
times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can re-
sume. If, after 10 minutes, 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 drying time or the dryness degree has not been set.
• Set the drying time or the dryness degree.
The water tap is not turned on. (E10)
• Open the water tap.
The drain filter is clogged. (E20)
• Clean the drain filter.
The machine is overloaded.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The selected drying time was not suitable for the laundry.
• Select the suitable drying time for the laundry.
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor en-
sures a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the
drum when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.
The appliance is not accurately level.
• Check the levelling and adjust it by raising or lowering the feet.
A wrong STEAM programme has been selected (e.g. Synthetic in-
stead of Cotton).
• Note the composition of the fabric.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.
