  christina86Aug 25, 2025
  Excessive foaming during washing with your Gorenje Washer is usually due to using too much detergent. Make sure to use washing powder according to the manufacturer's instructions, considering the water hardness and how soiled the laundry is. Also, only use detergents specifically designed for machine washing.

Why does my Gorenje Washer vibrate so much during the spin cycle?

  linda87Aug 27, 2025
  If your Gorenje Washer vibrates excessively during the spin cycle, it's often because the laundry is unevenly distributed, especially when washing very small loads. This is normal; the machine will reduce the spin speed if vibrations are too strong. Try washing a larger quantity of laundry to balance the load.

What to do if water is leaking from my Gorenje Washer?

  If water is leaking from your Gorenje Washer, it could be due to a few reasons. The filter might not be tightly screwed in, the inlet pipe may not be tightly connected to the machine or the water faucet, or the outlet pipe may have fallen to the floor. Ensure that the filter and inlet pipe are tightened properly, and affix the outlet pipe securely to the drain.

  Paul HodgesAug 29, 2025
  If your Gorenje Washer is not pumping out water properly (and the LEDs flash seven times), the water outlet may be clogged. Check if the filter is clean, the outlet pipe is not jammed, the drain is not clogged, and the outlet pipe is positioned no higher than 1 meter. Then, push the START button again.

  If water isn't entering your Gorenje Washer (and the LEDs flash three times), it indicates a disturbed water inlet. Check if the water tap is open and if the inlet pipe net filter is clean. Then, push the START button.

Why are there white powdery residues on my laundry after washing in my Gorenje Washer?
- M
  Maria AllenSep 2, 2025
  If you find white powdery residues on your laundry after washing in your Gorenje Washer, it's likely due to neo-phosphate detergents containing non-soluble components (zeolites) for water softening. These substances can deposit on the laundry. Immediately rinse the laundry again, use liquid detergents without zeolites, or try removing the residues with a brush.

Why is my laundry not properly spun in my Gorenje washing machine Washer, but no failure is reported?
- T
  Timothy FuentesSep 4, 2025
  If your laundry isn't properly spun in your Gorenje Washer, but no failure is reported, the machine may have activated the UKS function. This means the machine has automatically reduced the spin speed due to bad laundry balance. The machine is operating normally. Try washing large and small pieces of laundry together to balance the load.

Why are there detergent residues in the dispenser of my Gorenje washing machine?
- T
  Tiffany McbrideSep 6, 2025
  If you see detergent residues in the dispenser of your Gorenje Washer, it could be due to low water flow pressure or some detergents sticking to a wet dispenser. Clean the inlet pipe filter net, increase the water level if there's low water pressure, and wipe the dispenser before loading detergent.

This document provides instructions for use of a washing machine, designed for modern laundry treatment with rational consumption of energy, water, and washing agents. The appliance is intended exclusively for household use.

Function Description

The washing machine offers a variety of programs and additional functions to cater to different laundry needs. Basic programs include:

Cotton: whites/colored: For normally stained cotton and flax items like bed linen, underwear, tablecloths, and towels. It includes options for heavy duty and pre-wash for heavily stained items. A 17-minute quick program is available for smaller, less soiled loads, saving energy and time. The Cotton 15° program is for lightly soiled laundry with detergents designed for low temperatures, saving power by only engaging the water heater if inlet temperature is below 15°C.
Synthetics: For normally stained polyester, polyamide garments, or cotton blends. Pre-wash is available for heavily stained items.
Delicate: For delicate fabrics such as dresses, skirts, blouses, and curtains.
Wool: A gentle program for machine-washable wool and wool-blend garments.
Manual wash: A very gentle program with a short spin (max. 400 RPM), suitable for flax, silk, wool, or viscose marked for manual wash.
Mix: A special program for normally stained colored laundry made from various resistant fabrics at 30°C.

Partial programs include:

Conditioning: For softening, starching, or impregnating clean clothes. It can also be used as an independent or additional rinse program without fabric softener.
Pumping the water out: Used to drain water from the drum if a program was interrupted or the "pump stop" function was engaged.
Spinning: Aggressive spinning for non-delicate laundry at high RPM.

Additional functions modify the basic washing cycle:

Delayed start: Allows setting a delay for the program start up to 23 hours.
Spinning speed (rpm) / Pump stop: Decreases the spinning speed or engages "pump stop" to leave laundry soaked in the last rinsing water, preventing creasing. This is suitable for synthetics and delicate laundry but not recommended for wool or manual wash.
Quick program: An energy-saving program for lightly soiled laundry or smaller loads, reducing washing, rinsing time, and water consumption.
Cold wash: (Available on some models) For lightly soiled or color-sensitive laundry, turning off heaters and shortening the program.
Higher water level: Improves rinsing, especially for sensitive skin or heavily soiled laundry.
Auto-clean program (SterilTub): Eliminates impurities, bacteria, and odor from the washing machine drum. It is recommended to run this program monthly, especially if low-temperature washes are frequent.

Important Technical Specifications

Usage Features

Installation: Remove transport brackets before first use. Install on a solid, flat concrete floor in a room with a temperature above 0°C. Level the appliance using adjustable legs and tighten the nuts firmly.
Water Inlet: Use new water inlet hoses and sealing gaskets. Ensure water pressure is between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa. Connect hot and cold water hoses to marked faucets (C - cold; H - hot). Tighten hoses manually to prevent leaks.
Aqua-stop System: Partial Aqua-stop prevents leaks by automatically closing water inlet if the interior pipe is damaged. Complete Aqua-stop (certain models) also detects internal water leakage, suspending washing and signaling an error. Do not immerse the Aqua-stop inlet pipe in water.
Water Outlet: Fix the outlet hose into a sink, bathtub, or wall drain (min. 4 cm diameter). The hose end should be between 60 cm and 100 cm above floor level.
Mains Supply: Plug the power cable into an accessible wall socket with an earth lead.
Loading Laundry: Sort laundry by fabric type. Close buttons and zippers, tie strings, and empty pockets. Place very delicate laundry in a protective sack. Load items of different sizes. Check garment labels for recommended washing modes.
Detergent Dispenser: Add washing and treatment agents to the pre-wash, main wash, and softener compartments. For programs without pre-wash, detergent can be added directly to the drum using a measuring vessel. Fill softener only up to the marked level.
Operation: Turn the program selector knob to "0" to switch off. Turn to the desired program. Select additional functions before pressing START. The display shows washing time and "END" at completion.
Child Lock: Activates by simultaneously pressing the spinning speed (C) and short program (D) buttons for three seconds.
Sound Signal: Adjust sound signal loudness by pressing button (D) and rotating the program selector knob (A).

Maintenance Features

Cleaning the Casing: Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Cleaning the Drum and Door Gasket: Run a 60°C wash without laundry, adding half the quantity of detergent.
Odor Prevention: Run the auto-clean (SterilTub) program occasionally to prevent bacteria and odor, especially if low-temperature washes are frequent.
Detergent Dispenser: Pull out the dispenser by pressing the flap, clean it under running water with a brush, and dry it. Clean the rinsing area and nozzles.
Water Inlet Hose Screen: Clean frequently under running water.
Door Rubber Gasket: Wipe after each wash to prolong its life.
Filter: Open the filter lid using a flat screwdriver. Drain any water via the drain pipe. Turn the filter anti-clockwise, pull it out, and clean under running water. Reinsert and tighten clockwise, ensuring the gasket surface is dirt-free.
