9.2 Emergency Door Opening
Malfunction 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 is still not
evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case,
redistribute the load manually and select the spin program.
=> Pause the machine and redistribute laundry manually.
Machine not installed properly. => Make sure the levelling of the
appliance is correct. Refer to “Installation”.
Transit bolts or packaging not removed. => Make sure that the
packaging and/or the transit bolts are removed. Refer to “Unpacking”.
The load may be too small. => Add more laundry in the drum.
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using
very little water without affecting performance.

not spin:
The machine
makes an
unusual noise:
No water is
visible in the
drum:

WARNING!
Make sure that the drum is not rotating. Wait until the drum stops rotating if
necessary.
WARNING!
Make sure that the water level inside the drum is not too high. If necessary,
perform an Emergency Drain (see page 24).
