Troubleshooting
Washing machine won't start.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the door is fully closed. Ensure the water supply is turned on and the delay start function is not active. Check the circuit breaker.
Clothes are not clean enough or still stained.
Ensure you are not overloading the machine, as this can impede washing performance. Verify correct detergent dosage for load size and water hardness. Consider using the Jet Wash feature or Hygiene Guard for tougher stains.
Excessive vibration or noise during spin cycle.
Make sure the machine is perfectly level by adjusting its feet. Ensure all transit bolts were removed during installation. Distribute the laundry evenly in the drum; an unbalanced load can cause vibration.
Water is not draining or cycle won't complete.
Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the drain pump filter, usually located at the bottom front of the machine, as it might be clogged with lint or small items.
Unpleasant odors coming from the machine.
Run the Drum Clean function at 95ºC regularly to eliminate bacteria and mold. Always wipe the door seal dry after each use and leave the door slightly ajar when not in operation to allow for ventilation.
