How to open a Smeg Washer door that is stuck?
If the loading door of your Smeg Washer cannot be opened, it could be due to a few reasons. The door lock might be activated because of the water level, in which case you should drain the water by running the Pump or Spin program. The machine might be heating water or at the spinning cycle, so wait until the program completes. Alternatively, the child lock may be engaged, so wait a couple of minutes for the door lock to deactivate after the program ends.
Why won't my Smeg WHT814LUK Washer go to the spinning step?
If your Smeg Washer isn't switching to the spinning step, there might be an unbalanced load in the machine, which activates the automatic unbalanced load detection system due to uneven laundry distribution. The machine also won't spin if water isn't completely drained, so check the filter and draining hose. Excessive foam from too much detergent can also prevent spinning, so use the recommended amount of detergent.
Why is my Smeg WHT814LUK Washer leaking water from the bottom?
If you see water leaking from the bottom of your Smeg washing machine, the water drain hose might be clogged or twisted, so clean or flatten the hose. Additionally, the pump filter might be clogged, so clean the pump filter.
Why does my Smeg Washer take longer than the specified time?
The washing cycle on your Smeg Washer might take longer than expected for several reasons. Low water pressure causes the machine to wait until it takes in enough water. Low voltage prolongs washing time to avoid poor results. A low input water temperature extends the heating time. The machine may increase rinse water or add an extra rinse. Excessive foam from too much detergent can also activate the automatic foam absorption system, lengthening the wash time, so use the recommended amount of detergent.
Why did my Smeg WHT814LUK Washer stop soon after starting?
If your Smeg Washer stopped shortly after the program started, it might have stopped temporarily due to low voltage. It will resume running when the voltage restores to the normal level.
What to do if foam is overflowing from the Smeg WHT814LUK Washer detergent drawer?
If foam is overflowing from the detergent drawer of your Smeg Washer, 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". Reduce the amount of detergent when using additional chemicals like stain removers or bleach.
What to do if the Smeg WHT814LUK Washer programme cannot be started?
If the programme on your Smeg Washer cannot be started or selected, the washing machine may have switched to self-protection mode due to a supply problem like line voltage or water pressure. Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds.
Why does my Smeg WHT814LUK immediately discharge the water?
If your Smeg Washer immediately discharges the water it takes in, the draining hose might not be at an adequate height. Connect the water draining hose as described in the operation manual.
Why is there detergent residue in my Smeg WHT814LUK Washer detergent drawer?
Detergent residue in the drawer of your Smeg Washer can occur if the drawer is wet when you add detergent, so dry it first. It can also happen if the detergent has gotten damp, so keep detergents closed in a dry environment and avoid high temperatures. Low water pressure can also contribute, so check it. The holes of the detergent compartment may be blocked, so check and clean them. There may be a problem with the detergent drawer valves, in which case, call the Authorized Service Agent. Avoid mixing softener with detergent, and wash the dispenser with hot water. Regular drum cleaning is also important.
