Problem: The spin phase does not operate or the washing cycle lasts longer than usual.
Possible solution:
- Set the spin programme.
- Make sure that the drain filter is not clogged. Clean the filter, if necessary. Refer to ‘Care and cleaning’.
- Adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again. This problem may be caused by balance problems.

Possible solution:
- Make sure that the couplings of the water hoses are tight and there is not water leakages.
- Make sure that the water inlet hose and the drain hose have no damages.
- Make sure you use the correct detergent and the correct quantity of it.
Problem: You cannot open the appliance door.
Possible solution:
- Make sure that a washing programme that ends with water in tub, has been selected.
- Make sure that the washing programme is finished.
- Set the drain or the spin programme if there is water in the drum.
- Make sure that the appliance receives electrical power.
- This problem may be caused by a failure of the appliance. Contact the Authorised Service Centre. If you need to open the door, please read carefully «Emergency door opening»
Problem: The appliance makes an unusual noise and vibrates.
Possible solution:
- Make sure the levelling of the appliance is correct. Refer to ‘Installation instruction’.
- Make sure that the packaging and/or the transit bolts are removed. Refer to ‘Installation instruction’.
