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
