Leaks from areas other than the dispenser can be caused by loose or damaged hoses and seals, or incorrect machine positioning.

An unpleasant smell from the Washing Machine can indicate a need for a service wash to clean the interior and remove residue.

If the machine struggles to spin properly, it likely detected an out-of-balance load. It will attempt to redistribute the load repeatedly to reach higher spin speeds, which increases program time. This is a safety feature to prevent damage.

The Washing Machine completes the wash cycle but fails to drain the water or spin the clothes. This can be caused by program settings, blockages, or an enabled Easy Iron option.

The Washing Machine is not draining water or not performing the spin cycle. This can happen if the selected cycle does not include a drain, or due to issues with the drain hose or duct.

The water in the Washing Machine does not heat up, leading to unsatisfactory washing results. This is typically due to an incorrect temperature setting for the wash cycle.

The Washing Machine automatically enters standby mode after about 30 minutes of no activity, or after completing a program, to comply with energy-saving regulations. All lights will be off.
