Extra rinse performed — Too much foam detected

What does Extra rinse (foam) mean?

The washing machine automatically performs an additional rinse cycle if it detects an excessive amount of foam inside the drum. This is a safety and performance feature to ensure your laundry is thoroughly rinsed and no detergent residue remains.

• Too much detergent was added for the wash load.
• An unsuitable type of detergent was used for the selected programme or water hardness.
• Certain laundry items might produce more foam, especially if heavily soiled.
