      If your Defy Washer isn't spinning, make sure the laundry is evenly distributed in the wash/spin tub. Also, check if the washer is on a level surface and that the lid can close without any obstructions.

      If your Defy Washer isn't filling with water, make sure you've pressed the Start/Pause button after selecting the water supply. A clogged filter net at the water supply hose connector can also prevent water from entering; clean it with a toothbrush. Also, check if the water supply is cut off, and ensure the water pressure isn't too low.

    Why is my Defy DTL160 Washer making loud noises and vibrations when spinning?

      David BakerAug 23, 2025
      Loud noises and vibrations during spinning in your Defy Washer can occur if the laundry isn't spread evenly; redistribute the laundry in the washer. Ensure the washing machine is level on a sturdy, flat floor. Remove any objects cluttering the area around the washing machine.

    Why does the water drain out immediately from my Defy DTL160 Washer?
    • M
      Mike WebbAug 27, 2025
      If water drains immediately from your Defy Washer, it might be because the drain is clogged with items like coins or pins. Also, ensure that the drain hose is positioned no lower than 65 cm. You can also try half-filling the spin basket with water and attempting to spin again.

    What to do if the water leaks at the water supply hose connector of my Defy Washer?
    • D
      Dr. Devon KellySep 3, 2025
      If water is leaking from the water supply hose connector of your Defy Washer, reassemble the tap connecting part, ensuring it's not loose. Check the rubber seal on the water supply hose and tighten it. Straighten any kinks in the water supply hose. If the water supply is too strong, reduce it by closing the tap a little. If the tap itself is leaking, it needs to be fixed.
