The door will not open
after the Steam care or
Freshen up programme
has finished.
The Steam care or Freshen up programme has
been started several times one after the other. The
steam has caused the temperature in the drum to
rise above 55°C and the door will not open to
prevent the risk of burning. Wait a few minutes until
the temperature in the drum has decreased.
For safety reasons the drum door cannot be opened if the suds temperature is
higher than 55°C.
