Your washing machine does not start immediately after switching it on - but it begins to fill water only after 15-20 seconds, that is the time needed for the electric door locking.

When washing cotton and resistant synthetics, the program does not end after final spinning finish but the drum goes on reversing up to circa 3 min (its rotation alters in one and another direction), which helps to release the laundry after spinning. Spinning has an interrupted start-up - the drum starts and stops running several times - it is so called interval spinning with an increased spinning efficiency. Front part of the top frame and the cabinet can get warm from the electric door lock, which is not a fault. The door is electrically closed during the whole washing cycle, so you must wait one minute approx.
