2. Make the washing machine level by raising or lowering the feet.

  • Use a spirit level to check whether the machine is level on all its feet.
  • Adjust the feet using a spanner.

3. Make sure the machine is placed on a stable, hard floor.

4. Make sure that the drain filter is not clogged.

Clean the filter, if necessary.

5. Make sure the Rinse Hold or No Spin option is not selected.

  • With this option selected the final spin is not performed
  • The water of the last rinse is not drained out to prevent the fabrics from creasing
  • The washing programme ends with water in the drum
    • If No spin is selected, machine drains the water at the end of the Rinse phase and ends the cycle

6. Check if the laundry is loaded correctly.

  • Make sure that the washing machine is not overloaded
  • A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase leading to excessive vibration. Pause the machine and redistribute laundry manually.
  • Test the spin function by running a program with an empty drum
