TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE This washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at an early stage and react appropriately. Often, however, the faults detected are small enough to be solved in a matter of minutes. For example: Final spin results are poor: The appliance has an imbalance detection and correction system. If individual heavy articles are loaded (bathmat, bathrobe, etc. ) this system may reduce the spin speed automatically to protect the appliance or even interrupt the spin cycle altogether, if the imbalance is too great even after several spin starts. • If the laundry is still too wet at the end of the cycle, add other articles of laundry and repeat the spin cycle. • Excessive foam formation may prevent spinning. Ensure correct amount of detergent is used. [. . . ] 3. Adjust the height of the foot by hand. 4. Tighten the locknut anti-clockwise to the washing machine.
