Tom,

Just love your new Candy Aquamatic but why have you got it stacked on top of a Hotpoint Aqualtis. Have you not got any room on the floor for it. Does it say in the instruction book that it's ok to stack it like this. Is the drainage facilities adequate with it being placed at this high level.


Post# 537225 , Reply# 49   8/15/2011 at 18:19 (4,630 days old) by aegokocarat (United Kingdom)        

@optima: thanks :) it doesnt say anything in the manual about it, but i have got a thick foam sheet ontop of the hotpoint and i only select the medium spin speed (600rpm i think) but when i am really busy i cancel the spins and i spin the load in the hotpoint as the candy is VERY fussy on balancing.
it has correct inlet and outlet facilities :)its a very solid machine :)
@washerlover24: sorry buddy :(

Our Optima has a problem!

hotpointfan's profile picture
We hand-washed my new T-shirt and then span it in the Optima at 800rpm. it spent 7 of the 10 minutes just rotating slowly. It then ramped up to 800rpm on the second to last minute, and then stayed at 1 minute (like before but worse) for 9 minutes. We pressed Start/Pause and nothing happened. We switched it off, put it back on spin again, this time 600rpm, and it did the same thing. It then ended and the door lock wouldn't open for about 5 minutes. We then opened the door by force.

Please can someone tell me what the problem is!

Jacob

The pcb is having lots thrown at it! Use a spinner or use it after 10 mins

There was 1 wet thing right?

Typical... 1 wet thing, and machine was first balancing from 7 to 10 mins, (that is unexpected action) timer was counting down, and when it finally rebalanced it said on display 1 minute remaining (because 10 minutes that were supposed for spin were used for balancing), and just done the whole spin as it did.. you should have been patient with the door lock, I think it would have opened by itself eventually...

It is really nothing wrong with that machine, dont judge that much so easily!

Just to proove I am right, put 2 bath towels, or just empty drum and do the same spin cycle again, and you will see that everything will be allright.
