  If the loading door of your Smeg Washer cannot be opened, it could be due to the following reasons: 1. The door lock is activated because of the water level in the machine. Drain the water by running the Pump or Spin program. 2. The machine is heating up the water or is in the spinning cycle. Wait until the program completes. 3. The child lock is engaged. The door lock will deactivate a couple of minutes after the program ends; wait for a couple of minutes.

Why is my Smeg Washer taking longer than usual?
- J
  Janet FlynnAug 21, 2025
  The washing cycle on your Smeg Washer might be taking longer than specified due to several factors: * Low water pressure: The machine waits for adequate water intake. * Low voltage: Washing time is prolonged to ensure proper results. * Low input water temperature: Heating the water takes longer. * Increased number of rinses: The machine may increase rinse water or add an extra rinse. * Excessive foam: The automatic foam absorption system may be activated due to too much detergent; use the recommended amount.

Why is foam overflowing from my Smeg SAWS 1014 Washer detergent drawer?
- M
  Mathew McdonaldSep 3, 2025
  Foam overflowing from the detergent drawer of your Smeg Washer is typically caused by using too much detergent. Mix 1 tablespoonful of softener with ½ liter of water and pour it into the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer. Also, put detergent into the machine suitable for the programs and maximum loads indicated in the “Programme and consumption table”. When you use additional chemicals (stain removers, bleaches, etc), reduce the amount of detergent.

Why does my laundry not smell like softener after washing in my Smeg SAWS 1014?

  If your laundry doesn't smell like softener after washing in your Smeg Washer, it could be because the detergent is put in the wrong compartment. If detergent is put in the prewash compartment although prewash cycle is not selected, machine can take this detergent during rinsing or softener step. Wash and clean the dispenser with hot water. Put the detergent in the correct compartment. Also, the detergent might be mixed with the softener; do not mix the softener with detergent. Wash and clean the dispenser with hot water.

Why is my laundry stiff after washing in my Smeg Washer?
- P
  Patricia AndersonSep 10, 2025
  If laundry becomes stiff after washing in your Smeg Washer, it may be because an insufficient amount of detergent is used for the water hardness. Use an appropriate amount of detergent according to the water hardness. Also, if detergent is put in the prewash compartment although prewash cycle is not selected, machine can take this detergent during rinsing or softener step. Put the detergent in the correct compartment. Also, detergent might be mixed with the softener; do not mix the softener with detergent. Wash and clean the dispenser with hot water.
