Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep the washer unplugged while adjusting installation components.
Rebalance the load:
- Open the door once the lock releases.
- Redistribute laundry evenly around the drum. Avoid washing a single heavy item alone (e.g., one bath mat).
- Run a spin-only cycle.
Check installation:
- Ensure the washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side using a spirit level.
- Adjust the front and rear feet so the machine is stable and does not rock.
Inspect suspension:
- Remove the front lower or rear panel and inspect the shock absorbers (dampers) attached to the tub.
- If they are leaking oil, bent, or offer little resistance when moved by hand, replace them as a pair with Brandt-compatible dampers.
If D08 persists with balanced loads and good suspension, an imbalance sensor or control logic fault may be present and requires professional diagnosis.
