Problem Possible cause/Solution
Spinning starts late or the machine does not
spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has
cut in because the laundry is not evenly distrib-
uted in the drum. The laundry is redistributed
by reverse rotation of the drum. This may hap-
pen several times before the unbalance disap-
pears 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 select the spinning programme.
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 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.
No water is visible in the drum:
Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water with-
out affecting performance.
The display shows the alarm code :
Anti-flooding system has activated.
• Disconnect the appliance, 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 re-
leased fluff of a different color (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.
