Fault Check
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin.
The electronic unbalance detection system has cut in be-
cause 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 disap-
pears 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 select the spin programme.
The ”End” indicator light flashes:
1 flash = the machine does not fill
2 flashes = the machine will not drain
4 flashes = the door is opened
Is the water tap turned on?
Is the filter inside the inlet hose blocked?
Is the discharge hose kinked or constricted?
Is the door closed properly?
