Symptom
The door will not open
Possible causes
■
The programme is still running.
■
The door lock has not yet released.
■
There is water in the tub
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin
■
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
programme.
The machine makes an unusual
noise
■
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise
compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer
start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning,
as well as increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the drum
■
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using
very little water without affecting performance.
If after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your
local Electrolux Service Force Centre.
