  If your Russell Hobbs Washer is vibrating, make sure the stays of your machine are adjusted properly and that the safety assembly fitted for transport has been disassembled. Note that a less amount of laundry will not block operation of your machine. Avoid overloading the machine or unevenly distributing the laundry. Also, prevent the machine from resting on hard surfaces, leaving a 2 cm space between it and the wall or other hard surfaces.

  If you observe excessive foam in the detergent drawer of your Russell Hobbs Washer, it's likely due to using too much detergent or using the wrong type. To address this, press the Start/Pause button, then mix a spoon of softener with half a liter of water and pour it into the detergent drawer. Wait 5-10 minutes, then press Start/Pause again. Ensure you are using detergents specifically designed for automatic washing machines and adjust the detergent dose as needed for future washes.
