    OK

    It's just a washing machine. I don't use many of the features except wash advance and time delay. My old Hoover served the purpose just as well. The reason I bought a new machine was that lint was becoming a problem but I still need to be careful with this machine so I am not much better off.
    It senses the correct level of water for the amount of clothing. Also senses the type of wash needed like active or gentle.
    If you put too many clothes in lint can become a problem. I think that the fast spin speed doesn't allow the lint to be flushed out and it shows on clothes partiularly colors. The clothes also have lots of creases due to the fast spin speed and this makes ironing a bit more difficult.

    I have been pretty happy with it, does the job ok. Not an outstanding machine but one that does the basic job.
    A nice looking machine, easy to use, soak feature has been very handy.
    Find I need to sometimes add more water then it automatically lets it fill too, seems not enough water for the size of the load.

    As far as I know, these machines do not have a "favourite" feature.

    IW812 had Fault code 37 and in a Diagnostic mode the Pump was not pumping out, changed the diverter valve, now it pumps out in the diagnostic mode but in normal operation, it seems stuck in the recirculating mode and won't drain. I have checked the Pump and the drain hose all good. Any ideas?
