Possible Causes

Unbalanced load causing spin reduction, Clogged drain pump filter, Worn motor or belt slipping, Incorrect spin speed setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the pump or rear panel.

  • 1. Check settings: Ensure the selected program has a high enough spin speed and that spin reduction options are not enabled.
  • 2. Redistribute load: Open the door, redistribute laundry, and run a spin-only program.
  • 3. Clean pump filter: Remove and clean the drain pump filter to ensure fast drainage.
  • 4. Inspect belt: Check the drive belt for wear or looseness. Replace the V-ZUG belt if slipping.
  • 5. Motor check: If the motor struggles to reach speed, it may be failing and require replacement.
