Why won't my IKEA Washer start?
- A
  ambervaughnAug 14, 2025
  Your IKEA washer might not start due to several reasons: the door might not be closed properly, the plug might not be correctly inserted into the power socket, there might be no power at the socket, the main fuse might have blown, the programme selector dial might not be correctly positioned, or the delay start might have been selected. Please ensure the door is firmly closed, the plug is properly inserted, there is power at the socket, the fuse is intact, the programme selector dial is correctly positioned and button 4 is pressed, and the delay start is cancelled if you want to wash immediately.

What to do if my IKEA RENLIG IWM60 Washer won't open?
- S
  Steven JohnsonAug 17, 2025
  If the door of your IKEA washer won't open, it could be because the programme is still running, the door lock hasn't been released yet, or there's still water in the drum. Wait for the washing cycle to finish, allow a few minutes for the door lock to release, or select the drain or spin programme to empty any remaining water.

What to do if IKEA RENLIG IWM60 is not filling with water?
- D
  Dawn MurphyAug 21, 2025
  If your IKEA washer isn't filling, the water tap might be closed, the inlet hose could be squashed or kinked, the filter in the inlet hose or the inlet valve filter might be blocked, or the door might not be properly closed. Open the water tap, check the inlet hose connection, clean the water inlet filters, and ensure the door is firmly closed.

Why is there water on the floor from my IKEA RENLIG IWM60 Washer?
- K
  Kristin EvansAug 26, 2025
  If you find water on the floor, it could be due to using too much or unsuitable detergent, leaks from the inlet hose fittings, a damaged drain or inlet hose, or the cap on the emergency emptying hose not being replaced or the filter not properly screwed in. Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one, check the water inlet hose connection, refit the cap on the emergency emptying hose, and ensure the filter is fully screwed in.

How to fix unusual noise from IKEA Washer?
- B
  brettconradAug 28, 2025
  An unusual noise from your IKEA washer may be because the transit bolts and packing haven't been removed, the support feet haven't been adjusted, or the drain pump could be blocked. Check the correct installation of the appliance and ensure the transit bolts and packing are removed and check the correct leveling of the appliance.

What to do if IKEA Washer isn't emptying?
- A
  Anna MyersSep 2, 2025
  If your IKEA washer isn't emptying, it might be because the drain hose is squashed or kinked, the drain filter is clogged, or you've selected an option or programme that ends with water in the tub or eliminates spinning. Check the drain hose connection, clean the drain filter, and select the draining or spinning programme.

Why is my IKEA RENLIG IWM60 spinning phase starting late?
- O
  oaguirreSep 5, 2025
  The spinning phase of your IKEA washer might start late or not at all because the electronic unbalance detection device has activated. This happens when the laundry isn't evenly distributed in the drum. To solve this, redistribute the load manually or add more laundry, then select the spin programme.

Why are my IKEA RENLIG IWM60 washing results unsatisfactory?
- S
  sara04Sep 8, 2025
  Unsatisfactory washing results from your IKEA washer could be due to using too little or unsuitable detergent, not treating stubborn stains before washing, selecting the wrong temperature, or overloading the machine. Increase the detergent quantity or use another one, use commercial products to treat stubborn stains, check if you have selected the correct temperature, and reduce the laundry load according to the "Washing Programmes table".
