During machine operation it is possible that the red Start/Pause pilot light flashes to indicate that the machine is not working. Once the problem has been eliminated, press the Start/Pause button to restart the program.
ENGLISH Malfunction There is water on the floor: Unsatisfactory washing results: The door will not open: The machine vibrates or is noisy: Cycle time longer than displayed: Possible cause 29 Solution Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used. Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one. Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.
www.electrolux.com Malfunction Possible cause The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin: The machine makes an unusual noise: No water is visible in the drum: Solution Pause the machine and redistribute laundry manually. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
