 Problem Possible cause/Solution
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been
used.
• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.
Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is
damp.
There is water on the floor:
• Check the water inlet hose connection.
The drain or inlet hose is damaged.
• Replace it with a new one.
The cap on the emergency emptying hose has not been replaced or the filter
has not been properly screwed in after cleaning action.
• Refit the cap on the emergency emptying hose or screw the filter fully in.
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Increase the detergent quantity or use another one.
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.
• Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains.
Unsatisfactory washing results:
The correct temperature was not selected.
• Check if you have selected the correct temperature.
Excessive laundry load.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The programme is still running.
• Wait the end of washing cycle.

The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
• Redistribute the laundry.
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
• Load more laundry.

 Problem Possible cause/Solution
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
Spinning starts late or the machine is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this
