    How to fix a Lamona FLM8700 that won't start?

      John PaulAug 17, 2025
      If your Lamona Washer doesn't start, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the machine is properly plugged in and that the fuses are not faulty (replace them if needed). Check that there is mains power supply. Also, verify that you've pressed the Start/Pause button and that the program dial is not in the 'stop' position; turn it to the desired setting. Finally, make sure the machine door is completely closed.

      If your Lamona Washer isn't discharging water, the drain hose might be clogged or twisted; inspect it, and clean or untwist as needed. Also, the pump filter could be clogged, so clean the pump filter. Finally, ensure that the laundry is not too tightly packed in the drum; spread it evenly.

      If your Lamona Washer won't spin and there's no water in the drum during the wash, the pump filter may be dirty or blocked. Clean the pump filter.

      Jeffrey JonesAug 26, 2025
      If your Lamona Washer isn't intaking water, start by checking if the water tap is turned on. Next, inspect the water inlet hose to ensure it's not twisted; untwist it if necessary. Also, the water inlet hose or the inlet filter might be clogged, so clean these filters. Finally, ensure that the machine door is completely closed.

      If you're not getting satisfactory washing results with your Lamona Washer, consider whether your laundry is too dirty for the selected program. Use the program tables to choose a more appropriate program. Also, ensure you're using enough detergent as instructed on the packaging. Finally, avoid overloading the machine; check that you have not exceeded the maximum capacity for the selected program.

    Why is the spin cycle delayed or not working on my Lamona FLM8700 Washer?
    • M
      Michael WalkerAug 31, 2025
      If the spin cycle in your Lamona Washer doesn't start or starts later than expected, it's likely due to the Unbalanced load control system being activated. This system tries to spread your laundry evenly. The spinning cycle will begin once your laundry is spread. For the next wash, load the drum evenly.

    Why is my Lamona FLM8700 vibrating so much?
    • T
      Tara RichardsonSep 2, 2025
      If your Lamona Washer is vibrating, it might be due to several reasons. First, make sure the feet of the machine have been properly adjusted. If you've recently moved the machine, check that the transit bolts fitted for transportation have been removed. Avoid overloading the machine with laundry, and ensure that the laundry is spread evenly inside the drum. Finally, ensure the machine is set up on a hard, even surface.

    How to reduce excessive foam in my Lamona Washer?
    • A
      Alison DixonSep 5, 2025
      If you see excessive foam in the detergent drawer or drum of your Lamona Washer, it's likely due to using too much detergent or using the wrong type. To stop the foam, press the Start/Pause button, then dilute one tablespoon of softener into 1/2 litre of water and pour it into the detergent drawer. Press the Start/Pause button again after 5-10 minutes. Ensure you only use detergents specifically produced for automatic washing machines.

    Why does my Lamona Washer discharge water immediately after filling?
    • K
      Katherine GomezSep 8, 2025
      If your Lamona Washer is loaded with water and immediately discharges it, the end of the water drain hose might be too low. Check that the drain hose is at a suitable height.

    Why does my Lamona FLM8700 leave detergent residue on clothes?
    • B
      Bryan EnglishSep 12, 2025
      If you notice detergent residue on your laundry after washing with your Lamona Washer, it could be due to non-dissolving particles in some detergents appearing as white spots. Try performing an extra rinse cycle, or clean your laundry with a brush after it dries.
