							An unsatisfactory wash result
Problem Possible cause Remedy
Liquid detergent
does not give the
required result.Liquid detergents usually
contain no bleaching
agents. They do not
remove fruit, coffee and
tea stains.–Use a general purpose
detergent containing a
bleaching agent.
–Pour stain removers into
compartmentjand liquid
detergent into a dispenser
ball (remember to remove
the dispensing ball before
drying!).
–Never put stain removers
and liquid detergent together
in the dispenser drawer.
Grey, greasy
particles cling to
washed laundry.Insufficient detergent has
been used to break
down the particles of
grease in heavily soiled
laundry.– Use more detergent.
– Before washing the next load
run aCottons 95°C
programme with powder
detergent but without a load.
White residues
which look like
powder detergent
are seen on dark
textiles after
washing.The detergent contained
compounds (zeolites) to
aid water softening which
are not soluble in water.
They have ended up on
the laundry.– Try and brush off the
residues with a soft brush
once the laundry is dry.
–
Wash dark textiles using a
detergent which contains no
zeolites. Liquid detergents
usually contain no zeolites.
A stale smell is in
the drum and on
laundry.Low temperature
washing.Before washing the next load
run a Cottons 95°C programme
with powder detergent but
without a load.
Clothes are coming
out creased.Programme was
overloaded.Reduce quantity of clothes in
the drum.
The wrong programme
was used.–
Check care labels and the
programme chart.

The laundry is still
damp after a drying
cycle.The load was too small
for the electronics to
assess the residual
moisture correctly.In future dry small loads in a
timed drying programme.

a ring in the drum during
the spin because it was
distributed unevenly.–Turn the programme selector
toStop.
–Open the door and loosen
the laundry.
–Start the drying programme
again using a lower spin
speed. The laundry has formed
a ring in the drum during
the thermospin because
it was too damp or the
spin speed was set too
high.
Warm laundry feels
damp.Extend the cool down time, as
described in Settings menuJ,
Set extended cool-down.
The laundry is too
damp or too dry
after a drying cycle.The required residual
moisture level is between
two drying levels.Either extend or shorten the
drying times, as described in

drying.There is a blockage in
the water outlet.Clean the drain filter and the
