n
The wash load is unbalanced.
The electronic unbalance detection device has
cut in because the laundry is not evenly
distributed in the drum. The laundry is
redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum.
This may happen several times before the
unbalance disappears and normal spinning can
resume. 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 reselect the spin programme.

The machine makes an unusual noise

increased stability of the machine.

Machines based on modern technology operate
very economically using very little water without
affecting performance.
