The unbalance detection device that prevents excessive vibration during spinning and ensures a stable position has cut in. Solution Wait until the end of the programme before opening the door. If the laundry is not evenly distributed inside the drum at the beginning of the spin cycle, the machine detects this and tries to redistribute it more evenly by means of a few drum rotations. Only when the laundry is more evenly distributed, the spin cycle will be performed. If, after about 6 minutes, the laundry is still tangled, the machine will not spin. Therefore, if the laundry is still wet at the end of the cycle, it is advisable to redistribute it manually inside the drum and to select the spin programme again. The door will not open Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin 64 Something not working? Unsatisfactory washing results If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found in the drum · Too little detergent has been used. · The programme or the temperature have not been correctly selected.
