  If your Sauber Washer doesn't start, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the machine is properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check the fuses and replace them if they are faulty. Verify that there is mains power supply. Make sure you have pressed the Start/Pause button. Also, ensure the program dial is not in the ‘stop’ position, and turn it to the desired program. Finally, confirm that the machine door is completely closed.

  If your Sauber Washer isn't taking in water, start by checking if the water tap is turned on. Next, inspect the water inlet hose for any twists and untwist it if necessary.

  If your Sauber Washer isn't discharging water, the drain hose might be clogged or twisted, so inspect it, and clean or untwist it. Another possible cause is a clogged pump filter, so clean the pump filter. Also, if the laundry is too tightly packed in the drum, spread your laundry evenly in the machine.

Why does my Sauber Washer vibrate so much?

  Sheila WhiteAug 26, 2025
  If your Sauber Washer is vibrating, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the feet have been adjusted properly. Check that the transit bolts, which are fitted for transportation, have been removed. If the load in the drum is small, this will not prevent operation of your machine. Avoid overloading the drum and spread the laundry evenly. Also, do not set up your Washing Machine on a hard surface.

  Kelly CampbellAug 28, 2025
  If excessive foam is forming in the detergent drawer of your Sauber 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 liter of water and pour it into the detergent drawer. Press the Start/Pause button again after 5-10 minutes. Ensure you only use detergents produced for automatic Washing Machines.

Why is the spin cycle delayed in my Sauber 1-5100?
- T
  Trevor BookerSep 8, 2025
  If the spin cycle in your Sauber Washer doesn't start or is delayed, it's likely because the Unbalanced load control system has been activated. This system will try to spread your laundry. The spinning cycle will begin once your laundry is spread. For the next wash, load the drum evenly.
