Why is my Gorenje Simplicity WA74SY2W taking longer than usual?
- B
  Brittany ArellanoAug 21, 2025
  The washing time may be longer than usual due to several reasons: the inlet water may be too cold (the washing program time may be up to 60% longer, but this does not imply a fault in the machine), the machine may have switched on the UKS system because of uneven laundry load (washing time is extended by the power supply down-time), low mains voltage, or a failure in the power supply (additional rinses may prolong the washing program time).

  Hunter CampbellAug 27, 2025
  If your laundry is not properly spun in your Gorenje washer and no failure is reported, the machine may have switched on the UKS function due to bad laundry balance, automatically reducing spin RPM. The machine operates normally. Wash large and small pieces of laundry together.

  jacquelinebrownAug 28, 2025
  If your Gorenje washer displays 'E2' and the washing program doesn't start with the washing time flashing, it indicates that the door is open or not properly closed. Close the door by pushing it towards the machine and push START again.

Why is my Gorenje Simplicity WA74SY2W Washer vibrating during the spin?
- B
  Beth WhiteAug 30, 2025
  If your Gorenje washer vibrates during the spin, especially with very small quantities of laundry, this is normal. The machine will reduce the RPM if vibrations are too strong. Washing a larger quantity of laundry may help.

Why is my Gorenje Simplicity WA74SY2W showing E3 error?

  Karen FletcherAug 31, 2025
  If your Gorenje washer shows an 'E3' error, it means water is not being supplied to the machine. Check if the water tap is open, and ensure the inlet pipe net filter is clean. Then, push the START button.

Why does my Gorenje Simplicity WA74SY2W have excessive foaming during washing?
- R
  rrangelSep 2, 2025
  Excessive foaming during washing in your Gorenje washer is likely due to using too much detergent. Use washing powder according to the instructions by the producer, considering water hardness and how soiled the laundry is. Also, use only detergents for machine washing.

How to fix Gorenje Simplicity WA74SY2W with detergent residues in the dispenser?
- R
  Richard BuckSep 4, 2025
  If there are detergent residues in the dispenser of your Gorenje washer, it could be due to low water flow pressure or detergents sticking to a wet dispenser. Clean the inlet pipe filter net to improve water flow. Also, wipe the dispenser prior to loading detergent.

Why does my Gorenje Simplicity WA74SY2W Washer laundry have white powdery residues?
- C
  Crystal RogersSep 5, 2025
  White powdery residues on laundry from your Gorenje washer are likely due to neo-phosphate detergents containing non-soluble components (zeolites) for water softening, not necessarily bad rinsing. Immediately rinse the laundry once again. Use liquid detergents which do not contain zeolites. Try removing the residues with the brush.
