Cause and remedy
The machine feet are not level and not secured.
Level the washing machine and secure the feet.

Not a fault. These slurping noises occur at the start and
end of a pump sequence as a normal part of the opera-
tion.
The water flow pressure is too low.
Clean the water inlet filters.

When powder detergent is used in conjunction with water
softeners it tends to become sticky.
Clean the detergent drawer and in future, add detergent

first and then the water softener into the compartment.
The siphon is not correctly positioned or is clogged.
Clean the siphon (see "Cleaning and care – Cleaning the

detergent drawer").
A different language has been selected.
Switch the washing machine off and on again.

The selected supervisor language appears in the display.
The supervisor language has been changed.
Select the language you require (see "Language" under

"Supervisor level").
The machine detected a high level of imbalance during the
final spin and reduced the spin speed automatically.
Include both large and small items in the load as this will

achieve better distribution.
Fault in the programme sequence
Switch the washing machine off and then back on with

the  button.
Note the message in the display.

Touch the Start/Stop sensor control.

The drum continues to spin and the programme continues.
