Why is foam overflowing from the detergent drawer of my ALTUS AFL700W?

  If foam is overflowing from the detergent drawer of your ALTUS Washer, it's likely because too much detergent is being used. Mix 1 tablespoonful of softener with ½ l of water and pour it into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer. Put detergent into the machine suitable for the programmes and maximum loads indicated in the “Programme and consumption table”. When you use additional chemicals (stain removers, bleachs and etc), reduce the amount of detergent.

Why does my ALTUS AFL700W Washer vibrate or make noise?
- A
  Andrew JohnsonAug 25, 2025
  Your ALTUS Washer may vibrate or make noise due to several reasons. The machine might be unbalanced, so adjust the feet to level it. A hard substance might have entered the pump filter, so clean the pump filter. Ensure the transportation safety bolts are removed. The laundry quantity might be too little, so add more laundry. The machine might be overloaded, so remove some laundry. Finally, ensure the machine isn't leaning on anything.

  If your ALTUS Washer isn't draining water, the water drain hose might be clogged or twisted, so clean or flatten the hose. Alternatively, the pump filter could be clogged, so clean the pump filter.

  If you notice water leaking from the bottom of your ALTUS washing machine, it could be due to a clogged or twisted water drain hose. Try cleaning or flattening the hose. Another possible cause is a clogged pump filter, so you should clean the pump filter.

Why is my ALTUS AFL700W Washer not switching to the spinning step?
- S
  schneiderstephanieAug 27, 2025
  Your ALTUS Washer might not switch to the spinning step if there's an unbalanced load, activating the automatic unbalanced load detection system. Also, the machine won't spin if water isn't drained completely, so check the filter and draining hose. Excessive foam from too much detergent could also activate the automatic foam absorption system, so use the recommended amount of detergent.

Why is there detergent residue in the detergent drawer of my ALTUS AFL700W?
- J
  Jimmy RuizSep 17, 2025
  Detergent residue in the detergent drawer of your ALTUS Washer can occur if the detergent is put in a wet drawer, so dry the drawer before adding detergent. The detergent may have gotten damp, so keep detergents closed in a dry environment and avoid high temperatures. Low water pressure can also cause this, so check the water pressure. The holes of the detergent compartment may be blocked, so check and clean them if clogged. Avoid mixing softener with detergent, and wash the dispenser with hot water.

Why does my ALTUS Washer not rinse well?
- M
  Michael JonesSep 14, 2025
  If your ALTUS Washer doesn't rinse well, it could be due to the amount, brand, and storage conditions of the detergent used. Use a detergent appropriate for the washing machine and your laundry, and store it properly. Detergent might be in the wrong compartment, so put it in the correct one. The pump filter could be clogged, so check it. Finally, the drain hose might be folded, so check it as well.

Why does my ALTUS AFL700W laundry does not smell like the softener?
- E
  Eric LawsonSep 15, 2025
  If your laundry doesn't smell like the softener after washing in your ALTUS Washer, it could be because the detergent is put in the wrong compartment. If detergent is put in the prewash compartment although prewash cycle is not selected, machine can take this detergent during rinsing or softener step. Wash and clean the dispenser with hot water and put the detergent in the correct compartment. Also, avoid mixing the softener with detergent, and wash and clean the dispenser with hot water.
